If you loved Anzukko, try La bailarina
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 Anzukko, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La bailarina is
Brief Encounter without the stiff upper lip. A writer and his ballet-instructor wife have quietly circled a long-simmering marital crisis. The arrival of a catalyst forces the couple to finally reckon with the state of their union. A minor key study of mid-century resignation.
