If you loved Die Nacht der Frauen, try Fräulein Ogin
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 Kinuyo Tanaka, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Die Nacht der Frauen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Fräulein Ogin is
A Christian tea master and his daughter navigate faith and forbidden romance in feudal Japan. Ogin’s love for a married prince deepens just as the Shogun declares war on Christianity. The film’s crushing earnestness somehow remains endearing.
