This film was written by Kurosawa and completed after his death. Very beautiful from the first shot to the last. Wonderfully acted and paced. The story had a quality of stillness, eternal rightness that evoked medieval Japan with its set ways and structured decency.
A ronin accompanied by his wife is traveling looking for a posting when one becomes available. He applies and the story unfolds.
Exquisite visually and thematically. A must-see for fans of Japanese culture/film.
