If you loved Die Geschichte der Qiu Ju, try Coming Home
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 Zhang Yimou, 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 Die Geschichte der Qiu Ju, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Coming Home is
Zhang Yimou apparently felt like doing a melodrama. When a political prisoner returns home from a labor camp, he discovers his wife has amnesia and doesn't recognize him. It's a moving story, provided you aren't allergic to sentiment.
