If you loved Zigeunerweisen, try Kagero-za
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 Seijun Suzuki, and they both carry the slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zigeunerweisen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kagero-za is
Oiran districts at twilight, cicadas screaming through paper screens. A man chasing inspiration stumbles into silk and shadow with a woman who wears the dead woman’s scent. Mirrors smoke when she turns. Seijun Suzuki folds kabuki ghosts into jazz age gloss.
