If you loved Gukoroku - Traces of Sin, try The Flowers of Evil
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
Theysit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gukoroku - Traces of Sin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Flowers of Evil is
Classroom corner. Hum of late spring. One stray sock. A would-be romantic, a petty theft, a blackmailer in the wings. His crush, her torment, and adolescent cruelties bloom like bad flowers. Iguchi’s detour into Bataille territory is surprisingly effective.
