If you loved Kill!, try Red Lion

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 Kihachi Okamoto, and they sit in Action / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kill!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Red Lion is

Okamoto here tries for a slightly comedic samurai film. A Restoration soldier heads home to tell everyone the old government has fallen. It is perhaps more amusing in theory than in execution.
