If you loved Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai, try Rice

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 Tadashi Imai, and they both carry the outsider mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Rice is

War-torn farmers swap plows for nets when a yen-pinching co-op tries reviving their dying lake town. Clannish pride collides with a single gamble on water. One stubborn clan sells the dream short leaving the others to sink or swim.
