If you loved Frau Oyu, try Die Legende vom Meister der Rollbilder
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Frau Oyu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Die Legende vom Meister der Rollbilder is
A lonely scrollmaker’s wife and his apprentice find romance while on the run from a scandal that starts with an accusation and ends in flight. Their newfound love blossoms as quickly as the gossip spreads. The film settles for a tidy moral without straining.
