Loyal 47 Ronin, The

 

aka: 47 Ronin
Japan 1941, 241 minutes
Dir. Kenji Mizoguchi
In Japanese with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama, Classics / Epic

 

Aroview: Sombre rendition of a famous Japanese legend that's both quietly dignified and overtly nationalistic, tooled as propaganda during the height of Japan's involvement in WWII. Despite this, dir. Mizoguchi lends an austere elegance to the epic story of masterless samurai avenging their fallen warrior leader.
