If you loved The Emperor and a General, try Samurai
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 Kihachi Okamoto, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Emperor and a General, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Samurai is
You wait on a muddy road outside Edo Castle as rain starts to fall. A single, bloodied katana rests at your feet. Then the city’s chief enforcer rides past, untouched. The camera watches the crowd part like water, still and deep.
