Curve-ball bonus suggestion: House (Nobuhiko Obayashi, 1977). Why? Obayashi posted:“If Kurosawa or Ozu were to see it, what kind of direction would offend them most,” he recalled. ” ‘That’s how I’ll do it!’ That was my thinking as I made ‘House.’ “  Obayashi also directed the making-of documentary for Kurosawa's Dreams.

For what it's worth I have actually read & enjoyed your posts here.  House is just... something else.

House is actually about intergerational conflict in postwar Japan. It's the old generation attacking its own children, but with empathy for the wartime traumas of the older generation, which the youth are completely unable to relate to or understand except on the level of a romantic fairy tale. Which it definitely was loving NOT. The train ride is where he really lays all his cards on the table.  HOW ROMANTIC *Man is machine gunned* Obayashi's hometown was literally nuked in real life, killing his childhood friends... and the girls compare the mushroom cloud to like cotton candy or something. He's on the girls' side overall, but he's still being pointedly critical of their ignorance here. The catch of course is that House is just so crazy stylistically that it's hard to process anything and you kind of just  in response. Obayashi outright said he directed it to be the exact opposite of what the Japanese film establishment considered "correct" filmmaking, so if Kurosawa would do X in a scene, he would do -X/sqrt(2) or something The story of how it got made is nearly as nuts as the film itself, the Criterion documentary on it is good.
