If you loved L'intendente Sanshô, try Gli amanti crocifissi
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'intendente Sanshô, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
