If you loved Comme épouse et comme femme, try Nuages flottants
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Comme épouse et comme femme, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Nuages flottants 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.
