If you loved Repast, try Berggrollen
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 Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Repast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Berggrollen is
The Mountain’s Shadow meets Ikiru when a young wife bonds with her compassionate father-in-law as her distant husband chases another romance. The household’s quiet collapse propels this mid-century domestic tragedy. A quiet powerhouse carries it.
