If you loved L'Impératrice Yang Kwei-Fei, try Le Héros sacrilège
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 / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'Impératrice Yang Kwei-Fei, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Le Héros sacrilège 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.
