If you loved Gonza the Spearman, try Ballad of Orin
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 Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gonza the Spearman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ballad of Orin is
A wanderer plays shamisen on city streets. Pushed past endurance by men in changing times. Her voice survives the chaos intact.
