If you loved Fires on the Plain, try The Makioka Sisters
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, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fires on the Plain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
foreign gem
What The Makioka Sisters is
It seems someone made a film about cherry blossoms and family drama. The Makioka sisters reunite in Kyoto annually. Ichikawa's film is a quaint period piece.
