Movies that feel likeUgetsu (1953)
If you loved Ugetsu, the closest films we have are The Five Venoms (1978), Blow-Up (1966) and Meshes of the Afternoon (1943). All three share Ugetsu's dreamlike and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Last Wave (1977).

If Ugetsu hit the spot, these will too

Both land dream logic and stillness at once
The difference: Sits closer to action than Ugetsu does

Twisty drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Ugetsu does

Fantasy with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases
The difference: Easier on the stillness than Ugetsu

Both lean on stillness more than on mystery
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

One thread runs through both: ghost


Both are built on the same subject: black and white
The difference: Trades the dream logic of Ugetsu for an angle of its own

Drama built on dream logic, twice over

Contemplative mystery, and it commits to that

Twisty drama in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both are working the same pair: japan, samurai

Both know what they want from mystery
