If you loved Wife, try A Woman's Life
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 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 Wife, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Woman's Life 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.
