It's from the same guy, pretty wierd too and it has also some of the same cast! ;)
The Taste of Tea (2004)
Similars
Both this film and this drama have this serene and peaceful quality to it. Its quiet and therapeutic. Filled with the sounds and landscapes of nature.
- Taste of tea is set in rural Japan
- To the Wonder explores the most rural parts of North West China.
Both are slice of life stories with a smattering of fantastical elements. Their characters are basically ordinary people with some personal quirks.
