If you loved Utamaro and His Five Women, try Sisters of the Gion

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, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Utamaro and His Five Women, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sisters of the Gion is

All About Eve in old Kyoto. Two geisha sisters navigate shifting loyalties when one takes back an old flame. Mizoguchi's early sound film contrasts tradition and modernity, embodied in a cynical younger sister.
