If you loved El asesinato, try Gonza, el lancero
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El asesinato, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Gonza, el lancero is
Romeo and Juliet, but with ritual suicide. A samurai is goaded into a compromising situation with a married woman, and honor demands satisfaction. Shinoda's late-period color work has a painterly stillness.
