If you loved Ripples, try Kamome Diner
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 Naoko Ogigami, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ripples, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Kamome Diner is
A Japanese diner in Helsinki initially serves only the occasional stray pigeon before a determined chef’s rice balls begin attracting a motley crew of locals. Midori, a lanky visitor, drifts in and becomes its first resident fan. By the time the snow melts, the place has quietly swapped loneliness for home cooking.
