If you loved Frau Oyu, try Die Straße der Schande
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 foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama 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 Straße der Schande is
All About Eve, without the champagne. Five women work at a Tokyo brothel as a law banning prostitution gains traction. Mizoguchi's final film observes the economic realities of marginalized women.
