| Overview: | Directed by Hideo Gosha ("Three Outlaw Samurai") and starring Tatsuya Nakadai ("Ran") and the ace Tetsuro Tanba, "Goyokin" tells the story of a haunted samurai named Magobei, returning home to the site of a past massacre to seek revenge and calm for his soul. The clan he abandoned intends to instigate a heartless massacre akin to an earlier reign of terror that caused him to resign his position and leave the clan.
Protecting the last survivor of the massacre, a woman named Oriha, Magobei absorbs a truly phenomenal amount of punishment as a way of atoning for the sins of his clan.
"Goyokin" goes far beyond its genre aspirations and emerges as an important film about honor and the folly of blind loyalty.
