If you loved Letter from the Mountain, try Nach dem Regen
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 Takashi Koizumi, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Letter from the Mountain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Nach dem Regen is
A group takes refuge in a mountain inn when rain turns the valley into an island. They stew in close quarters as the flood drags patience to low tide. The quiet before the waters recede arrives via long stares and low voices.
