If you loved The Downfall of Osen, try Miss Oyu
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, foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Downfall of Osen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Miss Oyu is
The Meiji era presents a love triangle where duty trumps desire. Shinnosuke meets Shizu for marriage, yet can't resist Oyu, her widowed sister. Years later family obligations still dictate who sleeps with whom.
