If you loved Sincere Heart, try Inn 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
Both films are directed by Masaki Kobayashi, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sincere Heart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Inn of Evil is
You arrive at a remote inn run by smugglers during Japan's closed-border era. You carry stolen money to ransom your lover. But betrayal runs deep within the criminal enterprise. Kobayashi's widescreen compositions, full of shadow, elevate the genre elements. The film lingers on duty and desire.
