If you loved What Did the Lady Forget?, try I Was Born, But...
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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to What Did the Lady Forget?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What I Was Born, But... is
A silent-era sibling comedy that mistakes respect for adoration. Two boys strategically rise from gangland underdogs to near-kings then spy their father bowing under a superior’s glare, forcing a crash course in adult hypocrisy. A modest film that accidentally asked the right question at the wrong time.
