If you loved Distant Thunder, try Villon's Wife
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 Kichitaro Negishi, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Distant Thunder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Villon's Wife is
Here's a film unafraid to ask: can a marriage survive a bad novelist? Set in post-war Tokyo, a long-suffering wife must deal with her husband's drinking, affairs, and general inability to be a decent human being. It's a portrait, then, of a woman who loves too much, or at least tolerates far too much.
