If you loved Les Baisers, try La Femme du docteur Hanaoka
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 Yasuzō Masumura, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Les Baisers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La Femme du docteur Hanaoka is
Frankenstein if it were a costume drama about early surgery. A doctor's research into anesthesia consumes his life, and his wife and mistress become rivals to advance his work. The film's unsettling edge comes from the women's choices.
