If you loved Villon's Wife, try Distant Thunder
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kichitaro Negishi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Villon's Wife, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Distant Thunder is
Life in a greenhouse has its limitations. A young man tends to tomatoes and romantic missteps. His love life is as precarious as the plants.
