Seibei Iguchi (Hiroyuki Sanada) is a low-ranking samurai living in the fading days of the Shogun period in Japan. His wife has died of tuberculosis, and with two daughters and an elderly mother to support, he and his family must survive in austerity. The divorce of his childhood friend Tomoe (Rie Miyazawa) leads him into a confrontation with her violent ex-husband, a high ranking samurai, and Seibei triumph against all odds. Just Seibei as begins to dream that despite his impoverishment he might win the hand of the long loved Tomoe, he is caught in the shifting turmoil of the times. His superiors, having heard of his sword-fighting prowess, order him on a dangerous mission: kill a renowned warrior who is on the wrong side of a clan power struggle. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Beautiful. Poetic. While it might seem contrived and drawn out, it wasn’t for me. Everything is truthfully shown here, everything is dirty yet beautifully clear. Nobody has tinted anything, all the colors in this film could be described as original. Notice when you watch, towards the end, during the fight, when the two are standing opposite each other in the room, the window – I found it the most important element in the whole scene, the paper window through which you can see the wind playing with the branches of the tree. Now I'm probably being a bit spoilerific, but I have to mention it – when he was coming home, all bloody, and she was still there, it felt like a complete happy ending, I thought that even if he died of blood loss now, it would still be a happy ending because she was there. ~ The film allows you to empathize with Seibei in a mysterious way, that you feel his joy with him, and when that happens, the ending becomes a little sad indeed.
