If you loved Sabakan, try After the Flowers
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
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sabakan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What After the Flowers is
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Attraction, feudal edition. A samurai of low rank finds himself drawn to the daughter of a clan official, though duty binds them to others. Swordplay and longing ensue. A handsome, melancholy artifact of its time.
