If you loved Eros + Massacre, try Farewell to the Summer Light

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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Eros + Massacre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Farewell to the Summer Light is

Yoshida gives it a go with Antonioni-style ennui. A Japanese professor and a troubled housewife embark on an affair while touring Europe. Their self-discovery is perhaps less interesting than the locations they discover.
