I found this to be a very beautiful period film. The scene at the start of the movie I found mesmerizing to watch.
However, I found the pacing of the film and the flashbacks unnecessarily slow and now well linked.
The rivalry between the two Lords is not clear until the very end, leading to some unneeded confusion.
If you like period dramas, beautiful and accurate historic props this will be a film for you.
I found the twist at the end of the film actually quite good.
The film draws inspiration from the 1962 film, Seppuku (Harakiri). If you like good films, I can heartily recommend that epic.
