If you loved Der Shogun und sein Samurai, try The Kyoto Connection
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

What The Kyoto Connection is
You board a plane in Seattle and step into Kyoto’s neon haze. An easy smile steers you to a walk-up where you wait on the floor, wrists cuffed to a pipe. The man keeps flipping pages of a dog-eared manual between bouts of silence. Outside, a festival drum pulses like a heartbeat you can’t join.
