Very rigid, based on Japanese norms of the period and thus (IMO) confusing - strongly suggest a synopsys read before watching to clarity some of the moves. Then this one, despite its not reaching its crucual point till just past midway, becomes very good. Well played and some stunning cinemaphotograpny in a period way. Despite being traditionally based it is anti the rigid samurai mores. If you liked 'Twilight Samurai' (a classic IMO) you'll like this.
