The last screenplay written by Japan's most famous director is a wonderful film which returns to the feeling of Kurosawa's greatest works, films like "Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro". The story concerns a group of travelers stuck at a riverside inn during a torrential rainstorm that closed the river crossing. One of the travelers is a ronin of great ability who catches the eye of a local lord (Mifune Shiro, Toshiro's son) and gets to test for the position of sword instructor for the clan. An out and out great film that was dedicated to the memory of the late master Kurosawa Akira. |
