Erzählung von den späten Chrysanthemen
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Life of Oharu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Erzählung von den späten Chrysanthemen is
Mizoguchi does not exactly traffic in light comedy. A male Kabuki actor, pampered as the adopted son of his famous father, realizes his acclaim is unearned. Spurned, he runs off with a woman from his household to make his own name in Osaka. It's a melodrama that is indeed very long.
