If you loved Chuji's Travel Diary: The Chuji Patrol Episode, try The Ambitious
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 Daisuke Itō, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chuji's Travel Diary: The Chuji Patrol Episode, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Ambitious is
You're Ryoma Sakamoto, a clan outcast in old Japan. The government hunts you, rival factions hate you. But you push to open Japan to the West. A director known for silent films makes a late-career return. The film leaves one pondering national identity.
