Country: Japan
Directed by Masaki Kobayashi
A few years earlier Masaki Kobayashi got some fame in West after the brilliant 'Harakiri' that he directed. However , this movie matches Harakiri in quality , even if is unknown. Kobayashi once more explores his favorite theme: the brutal authority that ruin the life of people and the man who has to choose between the justice and the duty. Samurai rebellion is not any less than masterpiece: the plot that reminds ancient tragedy, acting ,choreography , music, the minimal black and white photography that plays with the shadows, all are just brilliant. The ending scene of the duel is classic and highly memorable
