If you loved Utamaro y sus 5 mujeres, try La señorita Oyu
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, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Utamaro y sus 5 mujeres, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La señorita 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.
