If you loved Sans liens de parenté, try Nuages épars
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 Mikio Naruse, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sans liens de parenté, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Nuages épars is
A salaryman gets shuffled to the sticks after a tragic accident he didn’t cause, so his boss hands his widow enough cash to disappear back to her hometown. Meanwhile the insurance forms tick ever onward. Some corporate karma is definitely implied but not actually checked.
