If you loved Los músicos de Gion, try La calle de la vergüenza

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Los músicos de Gion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La calle de la vergüenza is
All About Eve, without the champagne. Five women work at a Tokyo brothel as a law banning prostitution gains traction. Mizoguchi's final film observes the economic realities of marginalized women.
