If you loved El almuerzo, try La voz de la montaña

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El almuerzo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
