Looking for shows/movies about traveling

mengosteen Author

Hello!

I'm looking for dramas/movies that feature traveling and wandering or road movies, but also: roadtrips, mountain climbing, pilgrimages, moving from place to place with a purpose (ie. going back to hometown to visit parents, or driving around the country to catch a criminal), documentaries about lifestyle, movies set in rural area; mountains; desert; steppes - or any similar stuff I forgot to mention. 

Any recommendations?

Human drama set in rural Hokkaido:

  • Bread of Happiness
  • A Drop of the Grapevine 
  • Sky Restaurant - 2019 film so DVD won't be out until summer. I'm mentioning it because it can be considered a trilogy together with the aforementioned two films. All three are about small family-run businesses in Hokkaido.
  • Kyokuhoku Rhapsody  - medical mini-drama, unrelated to the above. A young doctor is sent to work in a small town with aging population.

Life-changing journey:

  • Chicken Race - a young nurse and his unusual patient on the run together.
  • The Last Recipe - a chef who has lost passion for his work attempts to find and restore a legendary recipe book created by a famous Japanese chef in Manchuria the 1930s. 

With a supernatural twist:

  • Boku Dake ga Inai Machi - time travel. Protagonist travels back and forth between present-day Tokyo and his childhood days in his hometown in the north.
  • Kamen Rider Decade - inter-dimensional travel. Protagonist must  visit a number of parallel worlds in order to get his memories back and save his own world.

Hope this helps!
