If you loved Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress, try The Deer King
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 Masayuki Miyaji, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Deer King is
Princess Mononoke without gods. A former soldier and a young girl are the only survivors of a strange plague that sweeps through a kingdom. The pair seek a cure while on the run from those who want to use the disease as a weapon. A mature animated fable.
