If you loved Katatsumori, try True Mothers
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, foreign gem, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Katatsumori, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What True Mothers is
Hitchcock's Vertigo without the mystery. A couple adopts a child after struggling with infertility, only to have the biological mother reappear years later. Carried by Hiromi Nagasaku's understated performance, the film evokes the quiet desperation of lives carefully built.
