If you loved Vengeance Is Mine, try Die Ballade von Narayama
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vengeance Is Mine, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Die Ballade von Narayama is
A dying mother pressures her reluctant son to remarry as tradition demands one last mountain climb. A muted folk epic where years decay like dry leaves. Imamura turns obligation into quiet, stubborn love.
