If you loved Downfall, try Mandala

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 Im Kwon-taek, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Downfall, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mandala is

Kung Fu meets spiritual journey. Two Buddhist monks interact in South Korea. Low-key character study.
