The Twilight Samurai (2002)

Tasogare Seibei

Unforgiven in the last stages of the samurai world. It's a slow moving drama without a lot of the typical samurai fights, but rather focus on the man, his relations and the struggles between family man, honor and duty.

The cinematography is at times beautiful, but the narration was flawed and too simple at times. Several scenes feels too lightweight, almost false. As a result it didn't quite manage to connect on the level I feel it ought to have, but it's well worth a look and probably as Unforgiven more the kind of tea others than me drink greedily from.
