If you loved We're Broke, My Lord!, try A Courtesan with Flowered Skin
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 A Courtesan with Flowered Skin is
A courtesan’s carefully painted skin might crack open at any moment yet Asagiri keeps adding petals. One chance festival meeting with the artisan Hanjiro makes her imagine stepping out from the brothel’s shadow. The film glides backward through lush kimonos and flickering lanterns but forgets to light a path forward.
