If you loved Young Swordsman, try Incident at Blood Pass
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 foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Young Swordsman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Incident at Blood Pass is
You assume you're a ronin waiting in a mountain pass when you reach an inn and get tangled in a gang robbing shogunate gold on the road. The job asks you to kill everyone inside, but then you uncover the heist is a setup and your loyalty fractures. Inagaki's steely gaze lingers on this moment of choice.
