If you loved A Story of Floating Weeds, try Abschied in der Dämmerung
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Story of Floating Weeds, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Abschied in der Dämmerung is
Ugly duckling melodrama meets Ozu’s static gaze. A touring theater’s impresario reunites with a former lover, then watches his itinerant family and fraught inheritance collapse. Late 50s Japan in a single, serene long shot.
