If you loved Princess Yang Kwei-fei, try Taira Clan Saga
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 / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Princess 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.
