If you loved After the Storm, try Das Licht der Illusion
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 Hirokazu Kore-eda, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to After the Storm, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Das Licht der Illusion is
Maborosi meets Ozu on a bicycle. A Tokyo widow navigates routine after an inexplicable loss. Silence carries more weight than dialogue.
