If you loved Heroic Purgatory, try Wuthering Heights
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 sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Heroic Purgatory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wuthering Heights is
Heathcliff without moors. A Japanese orphan, raised in privilege, becomes consumed by his love for a foster sister. She bows to social pressure and marries another, spurring him to dark obsession. Spare, stylized, and owing more to Mizoguchi than Brontë.
