If you loved A Distant Cry from Spring, try Love and Honor

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yoji Yamada, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Distant Cry from Spring, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Love and Honor is

Apparently love conquers even swords. A young blind samurai and his wife navigate challenges. It mostly stays on theme.
