If you loved Dr. Akagi, try Zegen
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 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 Dr. Akagi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
pitch black
What Zegen is
Imamura directs a leering satire of wartime expansionism. One man establishes a string of overseas brothels, growing rich off Japan's imperial ambitions. It's a very specific story, told with a certain lack of shame.
