If you loved Her Love Boils Bathwater, try The Asadas!
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 Ryota Nakano, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Her Love Boils Bathwater, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Asadas! is
Here's a film about trying to make sense of tragedy, which is fair enough. A photographer starts taking posed family pictures in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. It's not clear whether this is for catharsis or art, but it certainly resulted in a movie.
