If you loved Gonza the Spearman, try Ballad of Orin
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 bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gonza the Spearman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ballad of Orin is
A wanderer plays shamisen on city streets. Pushed past endurance by men in changing times. Her voice survives the chaos intact.
