If you loved Band of Ninja, try The Catch

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 Nagisa Ōshima, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Band of Ninja, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Catch is

You live in a remote Japanese village late in the Second World War. You capture an African-American pilot, a downed enemy. But Tokyo's orders never arrive. Oshima's early film questions wartime xenophobia.
