If you loved The Emperor in August, try Baragaki: Unbroken 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

What Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai is
You live by the samurai code in a time of massive social change. But the old ways are dying. The emperor’s new guard closes in. Harada’s lens summons a bygone era. The film lingers on the tragic cost of loyalty.
