If you loved Mother, try Das Insektenweib
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.

What Das Insektenweib is
Naruse’s *When a Woman Ascends* meets Ozu’s *Late Spring* as a flywheel of misfortune. A rural girl’s century of defeats spins around her, her children’s lives recycling her own errors. The camera traces a half-century without pity.
