So many options in Japanese cinema. It's a more common genre there, or so it seems. Nobody Knows comes to mind.
Seconding this. Japanese cinema has this style figured out. A great recent example is Perfect Days. It’s a gorgeous slice of life film with a small but excellent cast. The main character is played by Yakusho Koji (a pretty famous Japanese actor) and he barely has any lines. There’s very little dialogue in the whole film, but it tells a tight and coherent story.
Can't believe Perfect Days didn't pop to mind. On a personal level, a great example of how potent that genre can be
Perfect Days imitates the style of Yasujirō Ozu's films. He pioneered this type of filmmaking in Japanese cinema.
