If you loved La ballata di Narayama, try L'anguilla
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 bittersweet, outsider, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La ballata di Narayama, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
