If you loved Portrait of Madame Yuki, try Osaka Elegy
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Portrait of Madame Yuki, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
