If you loved Lightning, try Two in the Shadow
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lightning, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Two in the Shadow is
A salaryman gets shuffled to the sticks after a tragic accident he didn’t cause, so his boss hands his widow enough cash to disappear back to her hometown. Meanwhile the insurance forms tick ever onward. Some corporate karma is definitely implied but not actually checked.
