If you loved Wife, try Il pasto
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, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Wife, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il pasto is
Dry widow meets feline guest. Kin’s sudden stay in post-war Osaka cracks a marriage no one admits is hollow. The cousin leaves; the woman stays, spinning gold from the wreckage.
