If you loved To Live, try Coming Home

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 Zhang Yimou, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to To Live, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Coming Home is

Zhang Yimou apparently felt like doing a melodrama. When a political prisoner returns home from a labor camp, he discovers his wife has amnesia and doesn't recognize him. It's a moving story, provided you aren't allergic to sentiment.
