If you loved The Whispering of the Gods, try MOTHER

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 Tatsushi Ōmori, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Whispering of the Gods, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What MOTHER is

Leviathan meets Kids Without Parents. Shuhei's life is controlled by his alcoholic mother. It delivers a harsh coming-of-age tale.
