If you loved La Rivière Shinobu, try La Mer et le Poison
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 Kei Kumai, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Rivière Shinobu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La Mer et le Poison is
You assist doctors at a Japanese hospital during wartime. But resources dwindle and desperation mounts. Then superiors task you with a horrifying procedure on downed enemy pilots. Kumai's stark study of wartime ethics earned awards. It lingers on the banality of the unthinkable.
