If you loved El retrato de madame Yuki, try El héroe sacrílego
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 both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El retrato de madame Yuki, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El héroe sacrílego is
Romeo and Juliet, if both families schemed for the throne. Kiyomori Taira rises to power amid courtly feuds and religious wrangling. Mizoguchi elevates the dynastic melodrama with his peerless command of color and composition.
