If you loved Oyuki the Virgin, try Il mio amore brucia
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 mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Oyuki the Virgin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Il mio amore brucia 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.
