If you loved L'amaro giardino di Lesbo, try Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees
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 Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'amaro giardino di Lesbo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees is
Kyoto mountains. Spring. An axe. A woodcutter takes wives, one after another. Each ends up dead. He meets a bewitching woman in the forest, and his murderous cycle escalates. Shinoda's artful ghost story is more uncanny than frightening.
