If you loved Assassination, try Gonza the Spearman
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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 Assassination, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Gonza the Spearman 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.
