Summary
Revenge, honor and disgrace collide when a samurai's request to commit ritual suicide leads to a tense showdown with his feudal lord. From cult auteur Takashi Miike (*13 Assassins*). Nominated for the Palme d'Or at the **Cannes Film Festival**. "*It may well be Miike's best film, a patient, ominous piece of epic storytelling that conscientiously rips the scabs off the honorable samurai mythology.*" - Michael Atkinson, ***Village Voice***
