If you loved Hanagatami, try Chizuko's Younger Sister
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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hanagatami, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Chizuko's Younger Sister is
Ghost meets parental drama. A family still grieves the accidental death of their eldest daughter. Her ghost returns to save her younger sister from a similar fate, rekindling their bond. Obayashi's late style wrings sentiment from spectral visitation.
