The Lady of Musashino

Brief Encounter without trains. A woman stuck in a passionless marriage finds herself drawn to her cousin, though both resist acting on it. Instead, the younger man falls for a woman also entangled with the protagonist's husband. Mizoguchi makes the most of minimal melodrama.
