If you loved Samurai Fiction, try Red Shadow

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 Hiroyuki Nakano, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Action / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Samurai Fiction, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

cozy

What Red Shadow is

Even polite assassins need interns. Three rookie ninjas bumble through feudal Japan on increasingly ridiculous missions. The film somehow makes stealth feel like getting hit by a truck.
