If you loved Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai, try The Emperor in August
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 Masato Harada, and they both carry the epic mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
