If you loved A Legend or Was It?, try The Scent of Incense
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Keisuke Kinoshita, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Legend or Was It?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Scent of Incense is
Mild melodrama without tears. A young woman trains as a geisha after her mother abandons the family. Years later, they meet again in Tokyo's pleasure quarter, rekindling old conflicts. A minor key Kinoshita, with delicate performances.
