Tender, melancholy, suspenseful...
It takes the great themes of the Samurai genre but, unlike Ed Zwick's respectful, earnest epic, it plays with them: Sanada's weary warrior is not a lone wolf then, but a man with obligations and responsibilities. Well worth hunting out.
...Yamada's epic domestic drama could easily be called an anti-samurai film. But its aim is less to subvert the genre's conventions than to deepen them, extending its parameters to include the minutia and rhythms of everyday life.
It's wonderful to see aJapanese movie in which a 19th-century samurai is also a touchingand complicated ordinary man.
