If you loved Threads - Our Tapestry of Love, try The 8-Year Engagement
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 Takahisa Zeze, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Threads - Our Tapestry of Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The 8-Year Engagement is
The film asks: can love survive a lengthy coma? Mai and Hisashi are set to marry, but she collapses into a coma shortly before the ceremony. Years later, she wakes up with no memory of him. It is a somewhat gruelling depiction of devotion.
