If you loved The Imperial Navy, try The Last War
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 Shūe Matsubayashi, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Imperial Navy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Last War is
On the Beach if directed by Ozu. As the superpowers stumble into atomic war, a family in Osaka tries to maintain some semblance of ordinary life. A mournful time capsule of early-60s anxieties.
