Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple

In the second part of the epic trilogy, Takezo (Toshirô Mifune) becomes a renowned samurai, Musashi, that makes him loved and hated. While he achieves his goal of becoming a fearsome samurai, the beautiful Otsu still eludes him despite their mutual love for each other. While the first film focused on the village life, this one goes broader in the samurai society and warfare in feudal Japan. Writer and director Hiroshi Inagaki makes another stunning classic with the second part. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
