Sudden Rain

1956 · 91 min

A quiet, observant portrait of a stale marriage, mixing gentle humour with melancholy and everyday arguments.

Tagline: The sadness of the fight is the sadness of love. The joy and decline of life that only couples know
Overview: Fumiko and Ryōtarō Namiki's marriage has gone stale, with both constantly arguing over what to do on a day off, or about her cutting out recipes from the newspaper before he finishes reading it. Their animosities are witnessed by Fumiko's niece Ayako, who visits to complain about her own husband's inattentiveness, and their new neighbours, the Imasatos.
