If you loved The Face of Another, try Woman in the Dunes

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 Hiroshi Teshigahara, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Face of Another, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
