A good, meditative film with a long arc of time and a bit of prison is Ash is the Purest White (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7298400/)
Jia Zhangke (mentioned in the article as being influenced) directed a similar film with incredible cinematography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Is_Purest_White / https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7298400/
Then you might like mainland Chinese crime movies. My two favs:
- Black Coal, Thin Ice
- Ash Is Purest White
There is a recent chinese movie along the same theme "Ash is purest white". A person is jailed around 2002 and released about 10 years later and the whole world has changed.
