If you loved Mandala, try Poem
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 Akio Jissoji, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mandala, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Poem is
Barry Lyndon without costumes. A young man devoted to tradition observes a noble family's decline. Jissoji's formalism and the superb lead performance combine into a potent study of repressed longing.
