The 47 Ronin was released in 1941 during WWII. Kenji Mizoguchi’s cerebral 3 hour and 40 minutes film will really take into task the most ardent film buffs.
This samurai movie is in Japanese language, shows a different culture and a different time period (18th century historical event), most of the characters are clothed alike with unusual and unfamiliar names.
It peeps into the world of hara-kiri – a ceremonial suicide by slicing the stomach until the bowels spill out, then decapitated by a accomplished swordsman.
No blood is spilled, neither is there an exhibition of swordsmanship skills. It's strictly a historic drama
No sarcasm intended but this two-part film is not for everyone. It is tormentingly slow paced, colossally lengthy and necessitates a lot of endurance.
A must see in one’s lifetime.
