If you loved Dragnet Girl, try That Night's Wife
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dragnet Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What That Night's Wife is
You toil in hardscrabble Tokyo. Your daughter succumbs to sickness, and you steal to pay for her care, but a detective knows your face. Ozu lingers on domestic objects. The film quietly considers desperation.
