If you loved Still the Water, try Der Trauerwald
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 Naomi Kawase, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Still the Water, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Der Trauerwald is
Drive My Car meets The Tree of Life without the cars or cosmic editing. A caretaker’s routine trip with a dementia patient derails in a dense, quiet forest where paths don’t obey logic. The film moves like memory—slow, sidelong, shaped by what’s half-remembered and never said.
