If you loved Rolling on the Road, try Path of the Beast

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 Tatsumi Kumashiro, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rolling on the Road, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Path of the Beast is

Saki, a 17-year-old noodle vendor’s daughter, hustles between school dropouts, street romances and late-night truck stops. She quits her paramours, hoping to outrun her mother’s itinerant history. The film documents this doomed attempt at reinvention with the subtlety of a neon sign in a back alley.
