Bakemono

During the peaceful time, Haru returns to his hometown after an art of war journey, where he runs into a group of low-rank Samurais. His best friend from childhood Roku was among them. The Samurais laugh at Haru saying that the art of war is already outdated. Feeling infuriated, Haru draws his sword, but the Samurais wouldn't. He learns that there is a sword ban in the town. The local feudal lord finds out about Haru and orders his bodyguard "Kiyomitsu" to capture Haru alive. Kiyomitsu finally discovers Haru and attacks him with great glee, but.

Good story line, great directing and acting. Oba is always great!

Absolutely awesome. Hideki Oshima is a visual genius, I mean he is able to center the whole film and the whole action on the feelings.

I enjoyed the movie! Good acting!

This movie was absolutely great in my opinion; it might even be my favorite movie at this moment.

Best film I've seen in a long time. Takes you in straight away.

Flawless, perfect or anything else that tells this is a freakin good movie!

I don't often see a modern film that I thoroughly enjoy, but this is one of the exceptions. From the start, you are immersed in the movie.

This was an absolutely beautiful movie. Oba gives stunning perforce.
