If you loved Bitter End of a Sweet Night, try Flame and Women
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 sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bitter End of a Sweet Night, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Flame and Women is
Persona without Bergman. A couple's happiness cracks when the wife fixates on the anonymous sperm donor who fathered their child. Yoshida's early art-house film reflects the anxieties of Japan's booming 1960s.
