If you loved Barren Illusion, try Space Firebird 2772
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, slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Barren Illusion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Space Firebird 2772 is
A gleaming lab. The hiss of sterile birth. Born in glass, raised by machines. The boy climbs through perfect skies, guided by Olga’s cold hands, until the horizon cracks. He traces the seams of a world that shouldn’t fit. A mid-period Tezuka meditation, pushing animation toward existential limits.
