If you loved Flame of My Love, try Historia del último crisantemo
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Flame of My Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Historia del último crisantemo is
Mizoguchi does not exactly traffic in light comedy. A male Kabuki actor, pampered as the adopted son of his famous father, realizes his acclaim is unearned. Spurned, he runs off with a woman from his household to make his own name in Osaka. It's a melodrama that is indeed very long.
