If you loved Love and Honor, try El ocaso del samurái
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the cozy, cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Love and Honor, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El ocaso del samurái is
Here's a film determined to make samurai seem tedious. Down-on-his-luck Seibei is ordered to duel a former friend, while his daughter hopes he will marry a lovely woman. The film certainly makes you consider the Meiji era's social changes.
