If you loved Women of the Night, try Sisters of the Gion
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 Women of the Night, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Sisters of the Gion is
All About Eve in old Kyoto. Two geisha sisters navigate shifting loyalties when one takes back an old flame. Mizoguchi's early sound film contrasts tradition and modernity, embodied in a cynical younger sister.
