If you loved Es war einmal ein Vater, try An Inn in Tokyo
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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Es war einmal ein Vater, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What An Inn in Tokyo is
It Happens One Night meets Tokyo Story. An unemployed man and his sons wander Depression-era Tokyo. Ozu carries this poignant portrayal of era hardship.
