If you loved El imperio de la pasión, try Gohatto
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Nagisa Ōshima, and they both carry the paranoid, sexy, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El imperio de la pasión, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gohatto is
Kyoto, 1865. Cherry blossoms and a distant drum. The dojo's newest recruit inflames repressed desires among his peers and superiors. Honor and jealousy become indistinguishable. Oshima's final film is a queer sword-fight worth unsheathing.
