If you loved Die Prinzessin Yang Kwei Fei, try Taira Clan Saga
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 bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Die Prinzessin Yang Kwei Fei, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Taira Clan Saga is
Romeo and Juliet, if both families schemed for the throne. Kiyomori Taira rises to power amid courtly feuds and religious wrangling. Mizoguchi elevates the dynastic melodrama with his peerless command of color and composition.
