If you loved After the Storm, try Maborosi
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 Hirokazu Kore-eda, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to After the Storm, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Maborosi is
Maborosi meets Ozu on a bicycle. A Tokyo widow navigates routine after an inexplicable loss. Silence carries more weight than dialogue.
