If you loved The Petrified Forest, try Demon Pond
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 Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to The Petrified Forest, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Demon Pond is
A traveler discovers a village praying to a pond’s resident spirits. Akira and Yuri’s romance is collateral in an old story. Those spirits might be too busy watching the locals’ desperate dances to notice.
