The Makioka Sisters 1983
An excellent example of a very long movie which somehow does not feel as long as it is. The 4 sisters are endearing and interesting. The movie toes the perfect line of showing us the sisters' lives as individuals and as threads tied up with one another.

This movie is a little undervalued because it's not groundbreaking in anyway, but successfully creating a movie whose goal is to be cool (without being too amateurly directed) is a harder task than one might expect.Translated from by
