Grave of the Fireflies is very special in that it is peerless work of cinematic art and yet I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone watch it.
It's just so bleak and sad.
With that in mind, may I recommend the Korean film Snowy Road?
Dunkirk comes close but not quite as sad as GotF
I don't know of any other movie that is universally as praised, but also that no one has a desire to rewatch. It's brilliant, I recommend it to many, but there's no way I'm subjecting myself to that again, I don't have that kind of strength!
I was in my early 20s and still hopeful about the world and my future and the meaning of life when I first saw it. After nearly 20 years I don't think my psyche could handle Grave of Fireflies again.
May I recommend Snowy Road?
I have similar feelings with The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
TTotPK had that one neat scene where she's fleeing the party, and the art got all choppy. That was cool.
Ending was a huge letdown though.
