Affair in the Snow

Yoshishige Yoshida was a filmmaker who specialised in making films I'm too dumb for. That being said, I think Affair in the Snow might be the one I could follow the most. That doesn't necessarily make it his best film, but it's maybe the most approachable of his I've seen.

It's still got its dense and weird moments though. There are a few sequences where I'm not sure what to make of them, but the core premise of one woman getting pined over by - and torn between - two men shines through. It's acted well and it looks great, benefiting from the snowy setting promised in its title.

I still feel like I'm some distance from it, considering I didn't really get on board with all of it, but I found enough to like here, to the point where I feel I can say I kind of liked it. Very strange music used throughout, though. I didn't really like that to be honest.
