If you loved The Long Excuse, try Wild Berries
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Wild Berries hat ungefähr 3.6× Stimmen weniger als The Long Excuse — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Miwa Nishikawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Long Excuse, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wild Berries is
Small-town Japanese family learns not all returns are fond, especially when one son arrives with more luggage than memories. After a decade away, the prodigal’s charm proves thinner than his excuses. Meanwhile, the berry harvest wilts under the weight of his bad jokes.
