If you loved To Live, try Red Sorghum
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, gut punch, slow burn 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 Red Sorghum is
Red Sorghum sets up a rural Chinese tale. An old leper's death sparks a change. It ends up a simplistic folk tale.
