If you loved His Motorbike, Her Island, try Hanagatami
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, 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 His Motorbike, Her Island, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hanagatami is
Apparently war dramas can be pretty. Toshihiko attends school in a coastal town. It politely meanders through adolescence and wartime.
