The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail

Japan w/d A. Kurosawa

Early (1945) work set in medieval era. We follow a deposed shogun as he winds his perilous way to a sanctuary to escape a murderous brother. Typically well-composed. Hammy overacting throughout especially one character who behaves like a demented idiot.

Not up to the later masterworks...historical interest only.
