If you loved La moglie di quella notte, try La donna della retata
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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La moglie di quella notte, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La donna della retata is
Ozu does his version of a gangster picture, which is to say, not very gangsterish. A yakuza tough falls for a virginal office worker, much to the chagrin of his gun moll. It's less about the crime than the emotional havoc wreaked.
