My Second Brother

My Second Brother (にあんちゃん, Nianchan) is a 1959 Japanese drama film by Shōhei Imamura.

The screenplay is based on the diary of ten-year-old zainichi (ethnic Korean Japanese) Sueko Yasumoto, which became a bestseller upon publication.

Film scholar Alexander Jacoby called My Second Brother an "uncharacteristically tender film" for the director.
