If you loved The Lady and the Beard, try Days of Youth
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 sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lady and the Beard, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Days of Youth is
Youthful hijinks ensue on a skiing trip. University friends Ben and Shūichi compete for Chieko's attention. It stumbles into gentle romance.
