If you loved Song of Home, try The Morning Sun Shines

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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Song of Home, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Morning Sun Shines is

Newsreel meets drama. A reporter's story intertwines with documentary footage of newspaper production. Carries early cinematic experimentation.
