If you loved Kisses, try The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka
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 Yasuzō Masumura, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kisses, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka is
Frankenstein if it were a costume drama about early surgery. A doctor's research into anesthesia consumes his life, and his wife and mistress become rivals to advance his work. The film's unsettling edge comes from the women's choices.
