If you loved It's a Flickering Life, try Mom, Is That You?!

Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to It's a Flickering Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
