If you loved Heroic Purgatory, try Coup d'Etat
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Heroic Purgatory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Coup d'Etat is
Rashomon meets biopic, a Japanese intellectual sparks a military coup. Ikki Kita's ideology fuels a rebellion. Carried by its historical context.
