If you loved Hotel Hibiscus, try Das Zen-Tagebuch
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yuji Nakae. If that's the register that drew you to Hotel Hibiscus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Das Zen-Tagebuch is
A widower’s mountain exile meets domestic farce when his editor keeps dropping in bearing wine and unspoken demands he scatter his wife’s ashes. Anchored by two sharp performances, it’s Ozu for the Zoom era—quietly devastating and almost funny.
