If you loved The Tale of Genji, try La leyenda de Budori Gusuko
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 Gisaburō Sugii, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Tale of Genji, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What La leyenda de Budori Gusuko is
Gusukō meets a grumpy professor. The orphaned meteorologist flees Japan’s dust-bowl 1920s only to join a tiny team trying to restart the rain by detonating a volcano. A measured fable about aimless youth and stubborn science.
