If you loved La strada verso casa, try Vivere!
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 Zhang Yimou, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to La strada verso casa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Vivere! is
A once-rich couple watches their luck curdle under revolution’s slow pressure. Fugui and Jiazhen shear themselves down to bare survival across decades of famine and war. The story stays stubbornly earthbound, content to keep its pain close to the soil.
