If you loved Mandala, try Poem
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Akio Jissoji, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mandala, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Poem is
Barry Lyndon without costumes. A young man devoted to tradition observes a noble family's decline. Jissoji's formalism and the superb lead performance combine into a potent study of repressed longing.
