If you loved Der Idiot, try Das stumme Duell
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 Akira Kurosawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Idiot, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Das stumme Duell is
Casablanca meets The Doctor's Dilemma. A surgeon treats himself for syphilis in secret. Cary Grant carries a similar era's repressed emotions.
