Midaregumo (1967)

Both movies share the same intensity and atmosphere. Two loners are brought together by something they share in common, but it's the same thing that could easily break them apart. I wouldn't be surprised if Wong Kar Wai took inspiration from Midaregumo.

Both are about two people who fall in love with each other even though they probably shouldn't, since the man is responsible for the death of the woman's beloved.
