If you loved I Will Buy You, try The Thick-Walled Room
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 Masaki Kobayashi, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to I Will Buy You, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Thick-Walled Room is
You wake to a concrete cell in a Japanese military prison post-WWII. Rank-and-file privates share the space, each a scapegoat for the war’s unspoken guilt. The walls mute their voices but not their fear. Post-war Japan refuses to look at them.
