If you loved Tokyo Idols, try Tropical Malady
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 Tropical Malady is
Looks like someone's been reading structuralist film theory. A soldier has a sweet, tentative romance with a local boy, then a mythic jungle tale about a shaman and a tiger unfolds. It might test your patience, but at least it’s pretty.
