If you loved Penance, try La senda de la serpiente
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and they both carry the dread, outsider, slow burn mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Penance, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La senda de la serpiente is
Rain-slicked backstreets at dusk, a payphone ringing once. A scarred ex-yakuza and an enigmatic stranger locate a suspect, bundle him into a car trunk. Three pairs of shoes left beside a river. A Kiyoshi Kurosawa thriller that walks back every step it takes.
