If you loved The Real Thing, try The Idiot
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 / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Real Thing, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Idiot is
Apparently someone thought Dostoevsky needed a snowy backdrop. Kameda arrives in Hokkaidō and gets entangled in a complicated web of relationships. His compassion only makes things messier, naturally.
