If you loved Épouse, try L'Histoire de la femme
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 bittersweet, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Épouse, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What L'Histoire de la femme is
Midnight meets Ozu. A mother’s silent calendar is filled with dead husbands and a son’s disappointing romance. A decades-spanning diary in sightlines and sighs, led by Kinuyo Tanaka’s exhausted eloquence.
