If you loved Flame of My Love, try Tokyo March
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.

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 Tokyo March is
Tokyo March sets an unrequited romance against the glittering billboards and geisha districts of 1920s Tokyo, where a taxi dancer’s wages can’t buy love even when the city’s first neon lights call her name. The film pivots on a single train platform goodbye that still lingers in the three reels left to us. Given what survives, it’s remarkable how much heartache a city can carry.
