If you loved The Time to Live and the Time to Die, try Millennium Mambo

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 Hou Hsiao-hsien, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Time to Live and the Time to Die, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
