If you loved Utamaro y sus 5 mujeres, try Las hermanas de Gion
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 Utamaro y sus 5 mujeres, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Las hermanas de Gion is
All About Eve in old Kyoto. Two geisha sisters navigate shifting loyalties when one takes back an old flame. Mizoguchi's early sound film contrasts tradition and modernity, embodied in a cynical younger sister.
