If you loved This Transient Life, try Poem
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 Akio Jissoji, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to This Transient Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Poem is
Barry Lyndon without costumes. A young man devoted to tradition observes a noble family's decline. Jissoji's formalism and the superb lead performance combine into a potent study of repressed longing.
