If you loved Der Idiot, try Dodeskaden - Menschen im Abseits
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 Akira Kurosawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Idiot, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dodeskaden - Menschen im Abseits is
Tokyo shantytown squats on a dump’s fringe. A kid steers a cardboard trolley past cardboard homes while a dad sketches his son a palace from scrap. Fists fly inside thin walls. Kurosawa lets scraps breathe tragedy and tenderness until forward looks almost possible.
