If you loved Von Osten, try News from Home
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 Chantal Akerman, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Von Osten, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What News from Home is
Paris, Texas without whimsy. A filmmaker lives in New York while her mother's letters recount quotidian life back in Belgium. The film's calm juxtaposition creates a portrait of familial guilt.
