Trailer
Why watch the movie Wife of a Spy?
"This is one of the best films from Japanese filmmaker, critic, and professor Kiyoshi Kurosawa, best known for horror features such as 'Pulse'. 'Supai no tsuma' is a period thriller set in Japan during the early days of World War II, dealing with intricate plots, domestic dramas, and crossed loyalties in the purest Hitchcockian tradition. It may be a bit too conventional for what Kurosawa is used to (he won the Silver Lion at the 2020 Venice Film Festival for Best Director), but that's not a negative: when it comes to espionage thrillers, this is by far one of the best of its decade."
