If you loved His Motorbike, Her Island, try Chizuko's Younger Sister
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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, 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 His Motorbike, Her Island, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chizuko's Younger Sister is
Ghost meets parental drama. A family still grieves the accidental death of their eldest daughter. Her ghost returns to save her younger sister from a similar fate, rekindling their bond. Obayashi's late style wrings sentiment from spectral visitation.
