Sixteen years after abandoning the 47 Ronin on the eve of their crucial mission, Senoo Magozaemon (Koji Yakusho) finds his past coming back to haunt him while living deep in a vast forest. Having assumed the identity of an antiques dealer in order to guard his treacherous secret, Senoo has a chance meeting with his old ally Terasaka Kichiemon (Koichi Sato), and attempts to safeguard his secret by silencing Terasaka forever. Meanwhile, the secret to Senoo's shame resides with an adolescent girl from the forest named Kane.
This is the most touching movie I have ever seen in my life. Kurasawa may have made better technical films but this one is just out of this world. I don't normally cry but I balled like a baby for the last half hour of film. It is beautifully made and the acting is great. Like other reviewers, I thought the ending was a bit ambiguous as well but, unlike brainless movies with totally predictable happy endings, this one, like a true masterpiece, leaves you thinking for weeks after the film.
I saw this movie on an ANA flight in April of 2011 and I have searched all over the world but I still can't find anyone who can tell where I can buy the DVD. I hope it will be released soon so I can watch this again and again.IMDB Reviewer
