If you loved The Life of Matsu the Untamed, try Whirlwind

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 Hiroshi Inagaki, and they sit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Life of Matsu the Untamed, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Whirlwind is

You're a samurai in a castle overtaken. Five paths diverge after defeat. But honor erodes as survivors scramble. Inagaki orchestrates a kinetic, colorful jidaigeki. Whirlwind leaves one wondering what honor means when survival calls.
