If you loved After the Flowers, try Gassoh
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
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to After the Flowers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gassoh is
You join the Shogitai in 1868, ready to defend the Shogunate. But the Bakufu system is collapsing around you. Kobayashi finds beauty in the chaos. The film lingers in the mind.
