If you loved Lullaby to Kill, 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, slow burn mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Lullaby to Kill, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

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.
