If you loved Utamaro and His Five Women, try Women of the Night
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 sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Utamaro and His Five Women, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Women of the Night is
Osaka after WWII. Three women, linked by grief and hunger, sell themselves differently to survive. A downward spiral with no exits.
