If you loved You Were Like a Wild Chrysanthemum, try Farewell to Dream

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 Keisuke Kinoshita, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to You Were Like a Wild Chrysanthemum, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Farewell to Dream is

*Y tu mamá también* if it were about crushing adolescent disappointment. A boy longs for a life at sea, but his family and first crush pull him in other directions. Kinoshita again finds the sweet spot between sentiment and melancholy.
