If you loved Tears, try La mujer del abogado
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 Im Sang-soo, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tears, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What La mujer del abogado is
You live in South Korea, married to a lawyer, but sex is a distant memory. Then a young man arrives next door, and you begin an affair. The husband notices changes. Im Sang-soo uses precise framing to observe the bourgeois facade. The film lingers on what's left unsaid.
