If you loved Three Times, try Café Lumière
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 Three Times, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

_Paris, Texas_ without the Tex. A young writer in Tokyo researches a forgotten composer while quietly facing single motherhood. Pays homage to Ozu, but feels like pure early-aughts ennui.
