If you loved Band of Ninja, try La presa
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Nagisa Ōshima, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Band of Ninja, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La presa is
You live in a remote Japanese village late in the Second World War. You capture an African-American pilot, a downed enemy. But Tokyo's orders never arrive. Oshima's early film questions wartime xenophobia.
