The Stranger Within a Woman

You live in Tokyo and learn that your friend's wife died mysteriously. But you were near her place that night. You confess to your wife, then your friend, even though police don't suspect you. Naruse's late-career color films show the influence of Ozu's palette. The film renders the banality of guilt.
