If you loved Heaven and Earth, try Kagemusha

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

Theyboth carry the epic mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Heaven and Earth, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kagemusha is

You impersonate a dying warlord to keep his clan intact. But his sudden death throws you into absolute power. Soon you lead as him, against rivals, and then your deception frays. Kurosawa surveys honor and chaos. It's a humanist vision, refracted through armor.
