If you loved The Straits of Love and Hate, try Frau Oyu
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, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Straits of Love and Hate, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Frau Oyu is
The Meiji era presents a love triangle where duty trumps desire. Shinnosuke meets Shizu for marriage, yet can't resist Oyu, her widowed sister. Years later family obligations still dictate who sleeps with whom.
