If you loved Le Repas, try Le Grondement de la montagne

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

What Le Grondement de la montagne is
The Mountain’s Shadow meets Ikiru when a young wife bonds with her compassionate father-in-law as her distant husband chases another romance. The household’s quiet collapse propels this mid-century domestic tragedy. A quiet powerhouse carries it.
