If you loved The Affair, try Primavera en Akitsu
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Affair, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Primavera en Akitsu is
Yoshida here asks: what if we made a melodrama about doomed lovers, but really, really Japanese? A woman running a hot springs inn begins an affair with a sickly man, with tragic results. It got exactly as maudlin as you feared it might.
