If you loved Dodeskaden - Menschen im Abseits, try Madadayo
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 Akira Kurosawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dodeskaden - Menschen im Abseits, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Madadayo is
Kurosawa's last film is a slight but heartfelt valediction. It follows a professor in postwar Tokyo as he retires and enjoys the company of his doting former students. The yearly birthday toast ritual becomes a charming reminder of enduring bonds.
