If you loved City of the Rising Sun, try The Warrior
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 Kim Sung-soo, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to City of the Rising Sun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Warrior is
You arrive in 1375 as the silent slave in a Korean peace delegation crossing a desert where empires clash. Then the diplomats are branded spies and dumped in isolation. Kim Sung-soo’s widescreen sand and steel evokes a moment when every footstep counts.
