If you loved The Assassination of Ryoma, try Ronin-gai
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 Kazuo Kuroki, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Assassination of Ryoma, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ronin-gai is
You are a masterless samurai scraping by in the pleasure district. A local militia targets the brothel, and you decide to fight. But divided loyalties run deeper than honor. Kuroki's late-career turn toward action feels both classic and doomed.
