If you loved Le Fils unique, try Récit d'un propriétaire
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, 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 Le Fils unique, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Récit d'un propriétaire is
The film follows a lost salaryman’s son as he drifts into Tokyo’s tenement world. An unlikely caretaker steps in to guide him, forcing a reluctant vendor to host the boy temporarily. What begins as a comedy drifts into gentle observation of transient connections.
