If you loved Kagero-za, try Story of a Prostitute
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Seijun Suzuki, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kagero-za, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Story of a Prostitute 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.
