If you loved Hanezu, try Radiance
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 Naomi Kawase, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hanezu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Radiance is
A rare love story filtered through what can’t be seen. A cameraman losing his sight crosses paths with a reclusive sound recorder who’d rather hear nothing at all. It leans hard on metaphor, but the light—it’s always about the light.
