Japanese film from 2001, released at arthouse cinema here for 3 days but should be avail on DVD.
Its a 100% amazing film .. more like a period character study than a "samurai" fick although the 2 fight scenes in it are the most amazing no-bullshit fightscenes i've ever seen filmed and i include all Kurasawas movies there.... breath-taking.
its got humour, drama, pathos, a great script and its suptiously shot, set in the late 1800's. Needless to say it makes "the last samurai" look like absolute cock and says a lot more about loyalty, honour, what it means to have to kill, than that hollywood trash, and says it through peotic drama, not bushido-by-numbers cliches!
Check it!

will check it, tho every kurosawa film makes "the last samurai" look like cock.
you can also try "samurai fiction", nice samurai comedy, but not stupid like most chinese kung-fu films, its really nice.

i really like that japanese actor hiroyuki sanada. he was in the last samurai and also ringu. i've been wanting to see this movie for a while now, but there's no word that i've seen on a region 1 release yet.
