If you loved Delito de fuga, try El extraño dentro de la mujer
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 gut punch, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Delito de fuga, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El extraño dentro de la mujer is
You live in Tokyo and learn that your friend's wife died mysteriously. But you were near her place that night. You confess to your wife, then your friend, even though police don't suspect you. Naruse's late-career color films show the influence of Ozu's palette. The film renders the banality of guilt.
