About this film+
A poor village hires a group of masterless samurai to protect them from bandits during the harvest. The epic narrative focuses on the preparation for battle and the bond that forms between the warriors and the farmers. The black and white photography uses deep shadows and dynamic rain sequences to create a timeless, powerful look.
