If you loved La sorgente termale di Akitsu, try Farewell to the Summer Light
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to La sorgente termale di Akitsu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Farewell to the Summer Light is
Yoshida gives it a go with Antonioni-style ennui. A Japanese professor and a troubled housewife embark on an affair while touring Europe. Their self-discovery is perhaps less interesting than the locations they discover.
