Synopsis

Considered by many to be the finest Japanese film made during World War II, and one of the finest of all time, Mizoguchi's epic is a rich and poetic retelling of the Japanese classic, Mayama Chushingura. When their leader is deceived and forced to commit suicide, a group of legendary samurai warriors sets out to take vengeance for his death. A masterpiece that remained unseen in America until the 1970s, and one of Mizoguchi's most remarkable achievements. Japanese with English subtitles.

Kenji Mizoguchi---Japan---1941-1942---222 mins.
