Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Yasuzō Masumura, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'Ange rouge, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
