The Twilight Samurai

Yôji Yamada, one of Japan's most prolific writers and directors, wrote and directed this modern masterpiece that paints an authentic portrait of the Samurai. The story set at the dawn of the Edo period in Japan is about a low ranking Samurai who after years of bad luck has the chance to redeem himself towards the eyes of the society and claim his love. Meticulously written and directed with outstanding performances make this stunning production a classic for the ages. Hiroyuki Sanada stars as the twilight Samurai with a towering performance that makes this film a joy to watch. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
