If you loved La signora Oyû, try Gli amanti crocifissi
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to La signora Oyû, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gli amanti crocifissi is
A lonely scrollmaker’s wife and his apprentice find romance while on the run from a scandal that starts with an accusation and ends in flight. Their newfound love blossoms as quickly as the gossip spreads. The film settles for a tidy moral without straining.
