If you loved Red Angel, try Seisaku's Wife

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yasuzō Masumura, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red Angel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
