If you loved Chronicle of My Mother, try The Emperor in August
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 Masato Harada, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chronicle of My Mother, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Emperor in August is
You’re in a bunker reading the surrender terms as the city burns above you and then the prime minister can’t decide. A historian notes the film turns the emperor’s radio voice into a hinge between collapse and consent.
