If you loved There Was a Father, try An Inn in Tokyo

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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to There Was a Father, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What An Inn in Tokyo is

It Happens One Night meets Tokyo Story. An unemployed man and his sons wander Depression-era Tokyo. Ozu carries this poignant portrayal of era hardship.
