If you loved With Beauty and Sorrow, try Double Suicide
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to With Beauty and Sorrow, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Double Suicide is
Shinoda here seems to be testing how far you can push a love story using stagehands in full view. Instead of behaving himself, a married paper merchant falls for a courtesan. This leads to financial and familial problems, which you might expect.
