no decepcionó el drama de samurais, muy triste, pero más triste los cortes de cabello de los japoneses
en unos días vemos que tal la original

still beautiful, still tragic, but lacks that edge that made the '62 version a punch to the gut

This is a film that could easily have been 1h30 long, but because the performances are so good and the mis-én-scéne is magnificent, we can easily sit through it.

It isn't half as good as the original. Yakusho acts well but cannot capture the aura that Nakadai had in the original.
