Hidden Story of the Yagyu Clan

Post by hotsake »

A very tragic film filled will jealousy and melodrama. This is a classic Japanese tragedy, filled with tension, honor, romance sacrifice and drama. Shintarô Katsu and Raizô Ichikawa are both young here and give multidimensional performances. The film is set up like a stage play and doesn't really utilize it's cinematic potential fully but that didn't lower my enjoyment. As long as you remember that this is a serious drama and not an over the top action film like both leads more famous roles then you should enjoy this film.
