If you loved Café Lumière, try The Assassin

Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.

Was sie teilen

Both films are directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Café Lumière, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Assassin is

You train as an assassin, tasked to kill corrupt governors in ninth-century China, but you hesitate. Your master then orders you home to eliminate the man you were promised to: your cousin. Hou Hsiao-hsien uses precise, painterly compositions. It lingers in the memory.
