If you loved Die Straße der Schande, try The Life of Oharu
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, gut punch, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Die Straße der Schande, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
