The Bride of Rip Van Winkle (2016)

Ambos tem um clima melancólico porém calmo, perfeito pra assistir quando vc esta meio depressivo. One Million Yen Girl mostra uma garota tentando fugir da vida e de pessoas que a conheçam, The Bride of Rip Van Winkle eh um tanto diferente, mostra uma mulher deixando a vida a levar, ela eh bem "passiva" entaum naum luta pelas coisas, mas talvez por sorte ela conseguiu ter bons momentos de tranquilidade e conforto.
Bem, os dois daum esse ar de tranquilidade e conforto, claro q tambem a momentos de intriga, mas em geral eh esse o sentimentos q esses filmes deixaum.

Both movies focus on a single female friendships and the depth of the relationship and how their lives interconnect followed by a tragic death.

Both have the same heartbreaking stories, and depicts the job as a host/stand-in service! Both FLs are experiencing marriage + identity problems. Both are depressing in their own ways.

both are directed by Shunji Iwai so they have similar melancholy feel and aesthetic. main characters share some character traits and themes about loneliness and human connection.

Both are directed by Shunji Iwai and have his signature style. Beautiful films in all respects, that will appeal to those who love quiet, introspective, slow films that don't spell things out for the viewer. I honestly believe that the director is someone who has great respect for his audience.
