If you loved Straße ohne Ende, try Avalanche
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 sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Straße ohne Ende, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Avalanche is
A Tokyo housewife drifts between a dutiful husband and his flirtatious cousin while a winter keeps everyone snowbound. Naruse turns quiet domestic friction into slow-motion heartbreak, with the wife’s guarded resistance carrying the ache of a life quietly unraveling.
