If you loved Désir Meurtrier, try La Ballade de Narayama
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Désir Meurtrier, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What La Ballade de Narayama is
A dying mother pressures her reluctant son to remarry as tradition demands one last mountain climb. A muted folk epic where years decay like dry leaves. Imamura turns obligation into quiet, stubborn love.
