If you loved Historia del último crisantemo, try Los amantes crucificados
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Historia del último crisantemo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Los amantes crucificados is
A lonely scrollmaker’s wife and his apprentice find romance while on the run from a scandal that starts with an accusation and ends in flight. Their newfound love blossoms as quickly as the gossip spreads. The film settles for a tidy moral without straining.
