If you loved Letter from the Mountain, try After the Rain

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 Takashi Koizumi, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Letter from the Mountain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What After the Rain is

A group takes refuge in a mountain inn when rain turns the valley into an island. They stew in close quarters as the flood drags patience to low tide. The quiet before the waters recede arrives via long stares and low voices.
