If you loved Tales of Ginza, try The Temple of Wild Geese
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 Yūzō Kawashima, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tales of Ginza, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Temple of Wild Geese is
Peyton Place if set in a Kyoto temple. A young acolyte and a kept woman find themselves drawn together amid corruption and cruelty. Masochism and ennui are rarely so gorgeously filmed.
