A fairly entertaining story with some complex (i.e., hard to follow) politics. Lots of clans and factions and matters of honor and respect. It flows along well with enough interesting moments, and it has good music and some dynamite shots. But there isn't a whole lot of passion in it. It's similar to his take on the 47 Ronin tale, lacking in real human insight. Not bad, just not great. And I can't help but think the popularity of Rashomon influenced the multiple tellings of Kiyomori's parentage.
