If you loved Zegen, le seigneur des bordels, try Dr. Akagi
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they both carry the pitch black mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zegen, le seigneur des bordels, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dr. Akagi is
Somehow a doctor’s hepatitis hunt becomes a surreal farce against wartime absurdity. During WWII’s final days a Japanese medic tests remedies on prisoners while chaos swirls. One final note: the film treats disease like a prankster.
