If you loved Le Cœur sincère, try L'Auberge du Mal
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 Masaki Kobayashi, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le Cœur sincère, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What L'Auberge du Mal is
You arrive at a remote inn run by smugglers during Japan's closed-border era. You carry stolen money to ransom your lover. But betrayal runs deep within the criminal enterprise. Kobayashi's widescreen compositions, full of shadow, elevate the genre elements. The film lingers on duty and desire.
