If you loved Record of a Tenement Gentleman, try Equinox Flower
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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Record of a Tenement Gentleman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Equinox Flower is
Ozu takes on the eternal story of a dad versus his daughter. A businessman's progressive notions get a workout when his headstrong child rejects an arranged marriage. Dad digs in, but everyone else conspires against him. It's a gentle film about stubbornness.
