If you loved The Ceremony, try Street of Love and Hope

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 Nagisa Ōshima, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Ceremony, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
