If you loved Assassination, try Gonza the Spearman
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Assassination, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Gonza the Spearman is
Romeo and Juliet, but with ritual suicide. A samurai is goaded into a compromising situation with a married woman, and honor demands satisfaction. Shinoda's late-period color work has a painterly stillness.
