The third of the samurai trilogy directed by Yoji Yamada. All about love and honor. A professional taster at the castle, Shinnojo Mimura (Takuya Kimura) falls victim to food posion and loses his eyesight. But slowly he realises, that he has lost more than that. Yet again, a beauty from Yoji Yamada, that has some fantastic performances. Very slick.Rating: * * *

Deadly film! Yoji Yamada has captured the essence of the Jidaigeki genre. I love the music in all his movies. Thoughtful and simple. Just like the films.
