If you loved Prophecy, try A Boy and His Samurai
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 Yoshihiro Nakamura. If that's the register that drew you to Prophecy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Boy and His Samurai is
A time-traveling samurai ends up in modern-day Tokyo, where he bonds with a single mom and her son over an unexpected talent. The sword-for-hire swaps steel for sprinkles to win hearts. One suspects his katana would’ve been safer in the kitchen.
