If you loved Endless Desire, try Stolen Desire
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Endless Desire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Stolen Desire is
Imamura's early work is always worth a look, even when it's a bit all over the place. A traveling troupe of actors puts on both Kabuki theater and strip shows. It's not exactly subtle, but it did get made.
