If you loved Mother, try Sudden 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 Mikio Naruse, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mother, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Sudden Rain is
Strangers on a Train meets ordinary life. A stale marriage is put on display. Carries the mundane nuances of 50s Japan.
