Black and white master piece that shows how in the search as well as in the case to some, the achievement of perfection, there are those who will go to a great length in order to pretend to be something they are not and some others who finally value those things greater than perfection itself.
Ejemplo magistral del cine de samurais, donde un viejo ronin solicita a una casa noble poder realizar el rito del sepukku (harakiri) en sus estancias, lo que desencadenara la revelación de una historia que alcanza a la propia familia que acoge al cansado ronin. Excelente ejemplo de cine japonés
One of the best revenge movies ever. Modern audiences may find it slow, but that's what makes it so intense, those words spoken slowly, as if each one a slow cut on the facade of so called code of honor, the burning anger of an old samurai seeking for reckoning.
Also some damn fine photography
