If you loved Rivière de nuit, try La Poupée en bambou d'Echizen
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 Kōzaburō Yoshimura, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rivière de nuit, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
