If you loved Trois Samouraïs hors-la-loi, try Le Sabre de la bête
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Hideo Gosha, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, raw mood tags, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Trois Samouraïs hors-la-loi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Le Sabre de la bête is
You're a disgraced samurai, fleeing betrayal for supposed crimes. But survival means kinship with bandits in the forest. When the Shogun's gold is at stake, allegiances shift. Gosha's widescreen compositions find beauty in the muck. The film lingers on the moral compromises of its leads.
