If you loved Battle of Roses, try Brother and Sister
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 Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Battle of Roses, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Brother and Sister is
A domestic drama without redemption. A pregnant woman's return to her family home threatens her younger sister's marriage prospects. The eldest brother's intervention has grim consequences. A film of quiet desperation.
