If you loved Carmen from Kawachi, try Storia di una prostituta
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Seijun Suzuki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Carmen from Kawachi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Storia di 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.
