If you loved Under the Hawthorn Tree, try La strada verso casa
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, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Under the Hawthorn Tree, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La strada verso casa is
A man revisits his parents' origin story through his father's death and his mother's sorrow. The film traces their first meeting in flashback. It settles for nostalgia instead of fresh insight.
