Ce qu'ils partagent
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bon à rien, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La Rivière noire is
You live in a riverside town where kindness is currency and cruelty walks free. Then a visiting student arrives with his idealistic girlfriend and an uninvited guest whose grin hides a switchblade. Masaki Kobayashi’s 1957 Kaneto Shindō script pinches postwar Japan’s slack law like a vise left to rust. The film walks away with nothing resolved.
