If you loved No Blood Relation, try Two in the Shadow

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 No Blood Relation, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Two in the Shadow is

A salaryman gets shuffled to the sticks after a tragic accident he didn’t cause, so his boss hands his widow enough cash to disappear back to her hometown. Meanwhile the insurance forms tick ever onward. Some corporate karma is definitely implied but not actually checked.
