If you loved Lettre d'amour, try Mademoiselle Ogin
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 Kinuyo Tanaka, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lettre d'amour, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mademoiselle Ogin is
A Christian tea master and his daughter navigate faith and forbidden romance in feudal Japan. Ogin’s love for a married prince deepens just as the Shogun declares war on Christianity. The film’s crushing earnestness somehow remains endearing.
