If you loved Nagasaki: Memories of My Son, try Tora-san's Cherished Mother
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 Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Nagasaki: Memories of My Son, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tora-san's Cherished Mother is
This one attempts to tug at the heartstrings a bit more than usual. Tora-san believes he has found his long-lost mother working as a geisha in Kyoto and tries to reconnect. It's a very sweet film, if perhaps a little corny.
