Black River vs. Black Orpheus

Black River is one of those melodramatic, gritty Japanese films about lowlifes. The Japanese are excellent at those. Black Orpheus is a colorful, lively picture. Still, in a way, these are kind of similar. I guess I'd rather watch Black Orpheus more often. Black River is entertaining, but a bit on the bleak side. It does have a rather long scene of people arguing over having to pay to have the outhouse cleaned. That was different.
