If you loved La balada de Orin, try Buraikan
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 bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La balada de Orin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Buraikan is
A jidaigeki romp that wants to be both naughty and nice. A charismatic, amoral thief sashays into town and stirs up trouble for the authorities. It's a shame the film lectures as much as it leers.
