Maborosi (1995)

The cinematography was beautiful. The sounds of the train track and Yumi looking out the window really had me as a viewer imagine the trauma and sadness she relived every time she heard the train tracks.

The scene showing the once painted green bicycle getting rusty and dusty years later was very sad but loved how they added the scene. The cherry on top was when her son, later on, chooses a small green bicycle for himself.

Once the credits came on, it left me feeling like I first hand went through that grief, which reflects how well this movie conveyed its message regardless of the lack of dialogue.

The anger, sadness, confusion, and numbness were all conveyed beautifully!
