If you loved Der Herbst der Familie Kohayagawa, try Weizenherbst
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.

Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Herbst der Familie Kohayagawa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
