If you loved La donna del lago, try Arashi ga oka
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La donna del lago, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Arashi ga oka is
Heathcliff without moors. A Japanese orphan, raised in privilege, becomes consumed by his love for a foster sister. She bows to social pressure and marries another, spurring him to dark obsession. Spare, stylized, and owing more to Mizoguchi than Brontë.
