If you loved Ballad, try The Three Treasures
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 / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ballad, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Three Treasures is
You inherit a throne you never wanted. The Emperor’s favorite son is sent east to die in a rigged battle, but a storm and a mythic blade spare him. The court dismisses the survivor as an impostor as he vanishes into legend, taunting those who plotted against him. Akira Kurosawa’s peer Hiroshi Inagaki leaves the politics to the sword and the wind.
