If you loved Blue Spring, try Hanging Garden
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Hanging Garden has roughly 3.2× fewer votes than Blue Spring — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Toshiaki Toyoda, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blue Spring, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hanging Garden is
The Ice Storm without the snow. A seemingly happy family lives under the banner of total honesty. Everyone knows it's a lie. Solid early work from director Toyoda, prefiguring his interest in the aesthetics of blood sports.
