If you loved Oyuki la vierge, try Flamme de mon amour
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Oyuki la vierge, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Flamme de mon amour is
A melodrama that folds women’s rights into a love triangle, 19th-century Japan edition. Eiko flees Okayama for Tokyo, joins a doomed Liberal Party, and tangles with its disgraced leader. It keeps the romance warm, the politics tepid.
