Plot summary

Seibei Iguchi leads a difficult life as a low ranking samurai at the turn of the nineteenth century. A widower with a meager income, Seibei struggles to take care of his two daughters and senile mother. New prospects seem to open up when the beautiful Tomoe, a childhood friend, comes back into he and his daughters' life, but as the Japanese feudal system unravels, Seibei is still bound by the code of honor of the samurai and by his own sense of social precedence. How can he find a way to do what is best for those he loves?

I LOVE this movie. From director Yoji Yamada

I LOVE this movie. From director Yoji Yamada, who made a bunch of comedy films all his life and then directed three amazingly touching tender and 'slice of life' classical Japanese period films in 2002 to 2006 ~20 years ago (The Twilight Samurai (2002)The Hidden Blade (2004)Love and Honor (2006)). I stumbled upon this film after going through Hiroyuki Sanada's filmography list (from Hollywood Avengers Endgame, Westworld, Wolverine, John Wick, Sunshine, Rush Hour 3, King Lear), and this film (along with The Hidden Blade) is so tender and so genuine and realistic in it's cinematography and direction. It's such an under-rated piece of Asian / Japanese cinema. I watch it again and again as it's so relaxing, peaceful, bittersweet and melancholic. The drama is upfront but also hidden, nothing is flashy but it's beautiful. It all seems natural, so smooth and beautiful and *elegant* in it's presentation and so at *peace* with itself and the world. It's such a refreshing piece to the angst-driven, "let's pump everything to 120%", hyper-octane and hyper-saturated feeling of modern cinema.
