If you loved Love and Honor, try Il crepuscolo del samurai
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 Yoji Yamada, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Love and Honor, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Il crepuscolo del samurai is
Here's a film determined to make samurai seem tedious. Down-on-his-luck Seibei is ordered to duel a former friend, while his daughter hopes he will marry a lovely woman. The film certainly makes you consider the Meiji era's social changes.
