If you loved Yeelen, try Farewell to the Ark

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Farewell to the Ark has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than Yeelen — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Yeelen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Farewell to the Ark is

Fellini's Roma without the Eternal City. A remote village empties as its denizens seek lives elsewhere, leaving behind two cousins in love and a host of fading customs. Terayama's vision is singular, a phantasmagoric rendering of cultural dissipation.
