Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Summer Clouds, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Floating Clouds is

Naruse does what he does best: the quiet desperation of love. A returned soldier and a former typist struggle to find their way in postwar Japan, rekindling an affair that promises more than it can deliver. It's a film of longing glances and unspoken regrets, where happiness remains just out of reach.
