If you loved Les femmes naissent deux fois, try Le Temple des Oies Sauvages
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 Yūzō Kawashima, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Les femmes naissent deux fois, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Le Temple des Oies Sauvages is
Peyton Place if set in a Kyoto temple. A young acolyte and a kept woman find themselves drawn together amid corruption and cruelty. Masochism and ennui are rarely so gorgeously filmed.
