If you loved Buddies, try Railroad Man
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 Yasuo Furuhata, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Buddies, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Railroad Man is
Local Hero meets Ghost. A stationmaster can't shake the memory of losing his family as his Hokkaido rail line faces shutdown. The arrival of a young woman stirs up the past, offering a bittersweet second chance.
