If you loved Apart from You, try Flowing
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Apart from You, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Flowing is
All About Eve without champagne. A widowed geisha proprietor struggles to keep her business afloat in postwar Tokyo. Naruse's camera observes the quotidian realities of women in a changing world.
