If you loved Liebesbriefe, try Der Mond ist aufgegangen

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