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 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.
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.
