If you loved Im Reich der Leidenschaft, try Tabu
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Nagisa Ōshima, and they both carry the paranoid, sexy, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Im Reich der Leidenschaft, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tabu is
Kyoto, 1865. Cherry blossoms and a distant drum. The dojo's newest recruit inflames repressed desires among his peers and superiors. Honor and jealousy become indistinguishable. Oshima's final film is a queer sword-fight worth unsheathing.
