If you loved Death by Hanging, try Boy

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 territory. If that's the register that drew you to Death by Hanging, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Boy is

You live with your family on the streets, scamming drivers for money, but tensions rise as the cons become more desperate, they are observed by outsiders. Ōshima directs with social commentary.
