If you loved The Sword, try Miyamoto Musashi
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Sword, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Miyamoto Musashi is
Seven Samurai meets lone cowboy. A famous swordsman is asked to avenge a death. Carried by classic Japanese cinema.
