If you loved Histoire écrite sur l'eau, try Les Hauts de Hurlevent
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Histoire écrite sur l'eau, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Les Hauts de Hurlevent is
Heathcliff without moors. A Japanese orphan, raised in privilege, becomes consumed by his love for a foster sister. She bows to social pressure and marries another, spurring him to dark obsession. Spare, stylized, and owing more to Mizoguchi than Brontë.
