Title: an unsual samurai movie
Review: It is not the kind of the movie I would recommend to anyone who loves the samurai film genre. The ones who prefers the sterile romanticism of the type of the Tom Cruise movie possibly will hate it.This ones offers a bitter insight to the harsh realities of the Tokugawa era. It chiefly tells about sin and crime, and about human weaknesses. Death is not heroic, but cruel, gory and painful.But the story is very interesting and the swordplay is outstandingly remarkable. A masterpiece of the less known but very talented director Hideo Gosha.
