Judo Saga - Die Legende vom großen Judo

Braveheart without the war, just the wrath—set in Meiji-era dojos. A brawler trades street fights for judo’s code, clashing with tradition and his own temper. Young Kurosawa’s camera stays low, close, hungry, turning throws and stances into silent reckonings.
