If you loved The Mad Women's Ball, try Taboo

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

Theysit in Drama / History / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Mad Women's Ball, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Taboo is

Kyoto, 1865. Cherry blossoms and a distant drum. The dojo's newest recruit inflames repressed desires among his peers and superiors. Honor and jealousy become indistinguishable. Oshima's final film is a queer sword-fight worth unsheathing.
