If you loved Shara, try Still the Water

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 Naomi Kawase, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shara, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Still the Water is

Naomi Kawase's film tackles youth and hardship. Kaito and Kyoko navigate life on a Japanese island. It's a coming of age story with predictable angst.
