If you loved Young Swordsman, try Samurai Saga
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 Hiroshi Inagaki, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Young Swordsman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Samurai Saga is
You fence and write poems in feudal Japan, though your large nose precedes you. But your big heart aches for a woman beyond your reach, so you ghostwrite love letters for a handsome fool. Inagaki's widescreen compositions lend scale to a small, sad story.
