If you loved El valle del amor y la tristeza, try Utamaro y sus 5 mujeres
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, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El valle del amor y la tristeza, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Utamaro y sus 5 mujeres is
All About Eve with woodblock prints. An acclaimed 18th-century artist is celebrated and harassed for depicting the beauties of the pleasure district. Mizoguchi's biopic is a gorgeous rebuke to wartime repression.
