If you loved A Flower Aflame, try Blue

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Hiroshi Ando, 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 A Flower Aflame, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Blue is

Even the quietest crushes feel like tsunamis to teenagers. A painfully shy high schooler edges into romance with a classmate over shared walks and glances near a harbor. Its delicate cringe is so precise you’ll wince for them.
