If you loved Berggrollen, try Two in the Shadow
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 Berggrollen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Two in the Shadow is
A salaryman gets shuffled to the sticks after a tragic accident he didn’t cause, so his boss hands his widow enough cash to disappear back to her hometown. Meanwhile the insurance forms tick ever onward. Some corporate karma is definitely implied but not actually checked.
