Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'Histoire de la femme, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
