If you loved The Downfall of Osen, try Utamaro and His Five Women
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 mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Downfall of Osen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Utamaro and His Five Women is
All About Eve with woodblock prints. An acclaimed 18th-century artist is celebrated and harassed for depicting the beauties of the pleasure district. Mizoguchi's biopic is a gorgeous rebuke to wartime repression.
