If you loved Sazen Tange and The Secret of the Urn, try Samurai Wolf II

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 Hideo Gosha, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sazen Tange and The Secret of the Urn, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Samurai Wolf II is

You're a wandering ronin, protecting condemned men from bandits. But one prisoner shares your dead father's face. A blood feud erupts. Gosha's widescreen compositions and stark violence achieve a singular mood. One is left to consider the wages of honor.
