If you loved The Sea Is Watching, try Death of a Tea Master
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 Kei Kumai, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Sea Is Watching, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Death of a Tea Master is
Rikyu’s ghost haunts the line between tea and politics. Years later Honkakubo hunts the shadow behind the master’s forced suicide. The search becomes a duel of memory and etiquette.
