If you loved Seisaku's Wife, try Red Angel
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 Yasuzō Masumura, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Seisaku's Wife, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Red Angel is
Masumura directs a war film seemingly intent on dispensing with war-film machismo. A young nurse, Sakura, serves in field hospitals during the Sino-Japanese war and witnesses unimaginable suffering. She develops feelings for a morphine-addicted doctor. The film certainly earns its reputation as unflinching.
