If you loved The Rendezvous, try Tsugaru Folksong
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kōichi Saitō, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Rendezvous, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tsugaru Folksong is
A late-arriving romantic tragedy draped in shamisen sorrow. A Tokyo couple drifts into a northern port town where the woman turns tricks while the man, yakuza-adjacent, shares her with a blind girl without complaint. The grandmother’s lament keeps time while the trio mistakes reluctant attachment for fate.
