If you loved Whirlwind, try Daredevil in the Castle

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 both carry the epic mood tag, and they sit in Action / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Whirlwind, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Daredevil in the Castle is

You're a swordsman, the last of your clan, and you enter the war between Toyotomi and Tokugawa. But Osaka Castle looms, an impossible obstacle. Inagaki films action with a detached eye. The film leaves one wondering about the price of loyalty.
