If you loved La Maison au toit rouge, try La Servante et le Samouraï
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 Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Maison au toit rouge, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La Servante et le Samouraï is
Oh, the samurai with a crush. A well-born swordsman falls for a peasant, then gets ordered to stab his best friend—classic loyalty test. The film spends most of its runtime wondering which hurts more: the heart or the blade.
