If you loved Les Vingt-quatre prunelles, 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 Keisuke Kinoshita, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Les Vingt-quatre prunelles, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La Ballade de Narayama is
Tokugawa era social commentary meets folk tale. A remote village practices a harsh tradition. Orin's calm acceptance carries the film.
