If you loved Azumi, try Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons
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
Theysit in Action / Adventure / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Azumi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons is
Snowscapes. A low sun on steel. The squeal of oiled cartwheels. Ogami Itto, former Shogunate executioner, now a sword-for-hire, faces a gauntlet of five strange fighters. Each encounter yields money, each money yields a clue. Misumi's chambara films are less bloody than you think.
