A truly brilliant film about the emptiness of appearances and clan honor. After an impoverished young ronin is forced to commit seppuku following his attempt to coerce money from a prosperous clan (by begging for permission to kill himself in the clan's lovely garden), an older ronin comes to the clan with the same request. Relationships, behavior and personal honor are laid bare--but to what purpose? The clan is strong and numerous. He is one man, not in control of history or clan lore. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | I got a little restless with the film at first, but stick with it because it truly is a gem. | Choco |
