If you loved Les Baisers, try Confessions d'une épouse
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 Yasuzō Masumura, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Les Baisers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Confessions d'une épouse is
Snow chokes a mountaintop road. A woman’s gloved hand cradles a revolver. Inside the stranded car, one voice demands truth, the other begs for silence. Three days later, police find two bodies and a signed statement. No one asks why the gun was hers to begin with. A stark, sunlit Japanese noir from the early sixties.
