If you loved Key of Life, try A Stranger of Mine

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. A Stranger of Mine has roughly 4.0× fewer votes than Key of Life — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Kenji Uchida, and they both carry the outsider, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Key of Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
