If you loved Oyuki the Virgin, try Flame of My Love
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 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 Flame of My Love 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.
