If you loved Every-Night Dreams, try Lo straniero dentro una donna
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 foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Every-Night Dreams, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
foreign gem
What Lo straniero dentro una donna is
You live in Tokyo and learn that your friend's wife died mysteriously. But you were near her place that night. You confess to your wife, then your friend, even though police don't suspect you. Naruse's late-career color films show the influence of Ozu's palette. The film renders the banality of guilt.
