If you loved To Live, try The Road 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, 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 The Road Home is
A man revisits his parents' origin story through his father's death and his mother's sorrow. The film traces their first meeting in flashback. It settles for nostalgia instead of fresh insight.
