A Story of Yonosuke (2013)

Same male lead. Same nostalgic/ aesthetic atmosphere surrounding the characters

Kora kengo is an acotr in both films. Norwegian wood is more melodramatic than yonosuke which is more slice of life and comic. Both have the same nostalgia around youth and life

Both movies are about the post World War II, resurrection of Japan from ashes just like a manifestation of a Phoenix, Great Japanese bubble economy boom during 80s, although latter takes place in 2007 when economy is about to burst to lowest abruptly.................................................................
