If you loved Alone Across the Pacific, try Her Brother

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 Kon Ichikawa. If that's the register that drew you to Alone Across the Pacific, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Her Brother is

A sister and her brother navigate 1926 Japan’s stifling traditions with equal parts humor and grit. Their sibling dynamic alternately comforts and clashes in a quietly observant family portrait. The film settles for noticing what most adaptable families already know.
