If you loved Narratage, try Theatre: A Love Story

Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Isao Yukisada, 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 Narratage, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Theatre: A Love Story is
Here's a film that asks, "What if a director was having a bad time?" He's struggling with his work when he meets a woman who shares his footwear. Presumably, this kicks off a romance that will solve everything.
