If you loved Walk Cheerfully, try Früher Frühling
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 bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Walk Cheerfully, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Früher Frühling is
The film takes a humdrum suburban marriage and watches it wilt like a houseplant in need of sunlight. He drifts into someone else’s orbit while she politely arranges the curtains. It plants the seeds of quiet discontent and lets them grow.
