If you loved Repast, try Die Mädchen der Ginza
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, 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 Die Mädchen der Ginza is
Hostess life meets existential ledger. A Ginza widow fronts for tipsy men while rent eats her edges. The ledger’s red when she checks her age in the back-glow.
