If you loved Planet of Snail, try A Man Vanishes

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

Theysit in Documentary / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Planet of Snail, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Man Vanishes is

The private eye meets *The Truman Show* in 1960s Tokyo as a documentary crew hunts a vanished white-collar fugitive. A single missing embezzler becomes the pivot for a hunt that spirals through liars and lost addresses. Imamura turns the lens on Japan’s quiet exodus, carried by an everyman whose face nobody can quite remember.
