If you loved La bête élégante, try Le Paradis de Suzaki
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Yūzō Kawashima, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La bête élégante, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Le Paradis de Suzaki is
Breathless without Belmondo. A young couple start new jobs near Tokyo's red-light district, but temptation and money prove difficult. The director's cynical touch makes it a distinctly postwar melodrama.
