If you loved Eleven Samurai, try Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance
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 / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Eleven Samurai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance is
Road to Edo. Winter wind. A gate creaks. Disgraced, a samurai wanders the countryside as an assassin, pushing a perambulator holding his toddler and a cache of deadly weapons. The shogun's forces hunt them. Violent, beautiful, and strange, this is among the most influential samurai films ever.
