If you loved Anna Karenina, try Samurai Marathon

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Bernard Rose, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Anna Karenina, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Samurai Marathon is

You train with feudal samurai in a crumbling castle courtyard, and then the daimyo announces a marathon you must all run. The lord’s sharp-eyed daughter disguises herself and enters the course. Here the camera lingers on sweat and cedar shadows long after the arrows have been set aside.
