If you loved August Without Him, try Without Memory
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 tender mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to August Without Him, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Without Memory is
Sadako and Mamiya meets The Thin Blue Line. A father’s memory resets every eight minutes after a botched surgery. Kore-eda watches the family navigate bureaucracy and grief with hushed precision, the father carrying the film forward like a metronome.
