I drove about three hours with some friends to see this one in a little theater specializing in art/foreign/classic films when it was making its limited rounds here. Wanted to see it because
a) I heard it was awesome
b) samurai!!!
c) the star, Hiroyuki Sanada, is the guy who played Ujio in
The Last Samurai, and the best thing about that movie IMO
- which is how I became aware of him and his work
Also bought the DVD when it became available. This is a very good film, VERY GOOD. Pretty much swept the Japanese equivalent of the Oscars the year it was released.
