Repast
Drama
In post-WWII Osaka, a middle-aged woman is forced to examine her dreary life and marriage when her husband's young and flirtatious cousin arrives for a brief stay to escape an arranged marriage.
VIBE
A suffocating portrait of domestic despair. The film feels like a slow, quiet ache, capturing the profound unhappiness simmering beneath the surface of a seemingly ordinary life. It's a heavy, introspective experience.
