If you loved Kisses, try The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka
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 Yasuzō Masumura, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kisses, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka is
Frankenstein if it were a costume drama about early surgery. A doctor's research into anesthesia consumes his life, and his wife and mistress become rivals to advance his work. The film's unsettling edge comes from the women's choices.
