If you loved The Scent of Incense, try Twenty-Four Eyes
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 Keisuke Kinoshita, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Scent of Incense, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
