If you loved Mandara, try Poem
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 Akio Jissoji, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mandara, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Poem is
Barry Lyndon without costumes. A young man devoted to tradition observes a noble family's decline. Jissoji's formalism and the superb lead performance combine into a potent study of repressed longing.
