If you loved The Silk Road, try The Dream of Russia

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 Junya Satō, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Silk Road, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Dream of Russia is

Hokkaido fishermen meet Catherine the Great via a trans-Siberian drift. Three years of snow and vodka teach them empire polka while losing a translator to love. 18th-century road movie with kimono-clad crash-test dummies and a Cossack producer.
