Deception, grief, blood, guts, honor, madness. Betrayal of the heart and release of the soul. The quintessential drama and an exploration of the madness one can be driven to when they have had everything taken from them. The subtle beauty of every shot, the lighting, Nakadai's every movement, and the constant suspense captivated me throughout. The entire sequence of the duel at Gojiin-gawara is without a doubt one of the best scenes in any movie ever btw.
"Who can fathom the depths of another man's heart?"
