If you loved Stolen Desire, try Introduzione all'antropologia
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 both carry the sexy mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Stolen Desire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Introduzione all'antropologia is
Subu churns out softcore for a socially repressed Japan, funding Haru’s household with the takings while she winks at her carp-husband’s imaginary veto. Haru shares her bed with Subu, her son moons over her daughter, and the director watches with amused detachment. What began as a scandalous romp now feels like sympathetic anthropology on fast-forward.
