If you loved Song of Home, try Oyuki the Virgin

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

What Oyuki the Virgin is

পথিক: Seven Samurai without swords. Two geishas escape civil war with nobles. The women's virtue contrasts with the elite's moral failings. Mizoguchi's social critique simmers beneath the surface.
