If you loved Yumeji, try Historia de una prostituta
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 Seijun Suzuki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Yumeji, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Historia de una prostituta is
Here's a film that knows its title and embraces it. A comfort woman on the Manchurian front juggles the affections of a brutal lieutenant and his sensitive subordinate. It's a tragic love story, sure, but one mostly interested in challenging military codes of honor.
