If you loved Night Drum, try Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai

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 Tadashi Imai, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Night Drum, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai is

You're a modern businessman with a cursed bloodline. Your bride-to-be tries to end it all, but the event exhumes generations of clan history. Sacrifice to feudal lords becomes a haunting echo. Imai frames the past with stark clarity. The film lingers on the cost of loyalty.
