If you loved Assassination, try The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan has roughly 3.6× fewer votes than Assassination — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Masahiro Shinoda, 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.
What The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan is
A jidaigeki romp that wants to be both naughty and nice. A charismatic, amoral thief sashays into town and stirs up trouble for the authorities. It's a shame the film lectures as much as it leers.
