If you loved The Ball at the Anjo House, try Bamboo Doll of Echizen
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Kōzaburō Yoshimura, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Ball at the Anjo House, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Brutal meets kabuki. A grieving bamboo worker marries his father's former lover. The wife carries the film’s quiet, cutting sorrow across 1963 Japan.
