If you loved El rostro ajeno, try La Mujer de la Arena

Both films are directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El rostro ajeno, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
