If you loved The Assassination of Ryoma, try Ronin-gai
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 Kazuo Kuroki, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Assassination of Ryoma, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ronin-gai is
You are a masterless samurai scraping by in the pleasure district. A local militia targets the brothel, and you decide to fight. But divided loyalties run deeper than honor. Kuroki's late-career turn toward action feels both classic and doomed.
