If you loved Shara, try Embracing
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Embracing has roughly 4.2× fewer votes than Shara — 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 Naomi Kawase. If that's the register that drew you to Shara, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Embracing is
Diary meets cinéma vérité. A young woman documents her close bond with her grandmother while trying to locate the father who abandoned her family. Kawase's debut feature anticipates her career-long investigation into memory, family, and the camera's possibilities.
