A fabulous film highlighting a world that probably existed but has been suppressed for decades. The tale of life within a Samurai community and the structures that maintained them was loving told whilst maintaining the culture and tribulations of life at the time in a changing Japan. Beautiful to look at at and fine performances from the cast make this a film not to be missed.
