If you loved Zigeunerweisen, try Kagero-za
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 Seijun Suzuki, and they both carry the slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zigeunerweisen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kagero-za is
Oiran districts at twilight, cicadas screaming through paper screens. A man chasing inspiration stumbles into silk and shadow with a woman who wears the dead woman’s scent. Mirrors smoke when she turns. Seijun Suzuki folds kabuki ghosts into jazz age gloss.
