If you loved Café Lumière, try The Assassin
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 Hou Hsiao-hsien, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Café Lumière, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Assassin is
You train as an assassin, tasked to kill corrupt governors in ninth-century China, but you hesitate. Your master then orders you home to eliminate the man you were promised to: your cousin. Hou Hsiao-hsien uses precise, painterly compositions. It lingers in the memory.
