If you loved Desiderio inappagato, try Stolen Desire
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 / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Desiderio inappagato, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stolen Desire is
Imamura's early work is always worth a look, even when it's a bit all over the place. A traveling troupe of actors puts on both Kabuki theater and strip shows. It's not exactly subtle, but it did get made.
