If you loved Why Not?, try Zegen
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
Both films are directed by Shōhei Imamura. If that's the register that drew you to Why Not?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zegen is
Imamura directs a leering satire of wartime expansionism. One man establishes a string of overseas brothels, growing rich off Japan's imperial ambitions. It's a very specific story, told with a certain lack of shame.
