If you loved Secreto de esposa, try Crónica de una trotamundos
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Secreto de esposa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Crónica de una trotamundos is
Womanhood without security. A writer in old Japan bounces between exploitative lovers and soul-killing jobs. Hideko Takamine, always superb, elevates this familiar story of artistic struggle.
