If you loved The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka, try Irezumi
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 both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
dread
What Irezumi is
A snowy bridge. Footsteps. Otsuya flees her father's house with a clerk, only to find herself prey for a tattoo artist with a demonic vision. Ink blooms on her back, and her fate twists. Masumura's film is a feverish, lurid brand of transgression.
