If you loved The Last Recipe, try Departures
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 Yojiro Takita, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Last Recipe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Departures is
A small town, autumn, a cello silenced. A young musician returns, his wife by his side, to find work as an undertaker's assistant, preparing the dead for their final farewell. Yojiro Takita finds poetry in the everyday rituals of death.
