Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Shōhei Imamura, and they both carry the pitch black mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Doctor Akagi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Zegen is
Imamura directs a leering satire of wartime expansionism. One man establishes a string of overseas brothels, growing rich off Japan's imperial ambitions. It's a very specific story, told with a certain lack of shame.
