If you loved Le Grondement de la montagne, try Le Repas

Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le Grondement de la montagne, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
