Check out Alone in Love - it's a drama but it has a very strong slice-of-life/bittersweet indie film vibe. You might also check out the Japanese drama Nobuta wa Produce. The synopsis makes it sound like a typical high school drama, but it has a magical realist strain that is haunting and lovely.
Thank you, Im planning on watching 3-iron, parade, tokyo, backwater, oishii man, kirishima thing, alone in love, and nobuta wa produce. These all look really good to me.
Thank you so much for the recs! I really appreciate it.
