If you loved Das älteste Gewerbe, try Abe Sada
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 Noboru Tanaka, and they both carry the outsider mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Das älteste Gewerbe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Abe Sada is
A flamboyant sex-crime biopic that doubles as a fashion show for 1930s kimono. The daughter of a merchant turns geisha, finds a man, tumbles headlong into mutual ruin, and slices his carotid in a hotel room. It’s all very chic until the tabloid aftertaste kicks in.
