If you loved Femmes et voyous, try L'Épouse de la nuit
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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Femmes et voyous, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What L'Épouse de la nuit is
You toil in hardscrabble Tokyo. Your daughter succumbs to sickness, and you steal to pay for her care, but a detective knows your face. Ozu lingers on domestic objects. The film quietly considers desperation.
