Last week was the Asian Movie Festival in Deauville, France. Unfortualty i didn’t make it there, but i checked it out on the website.
A movie directed by Matsumoto ( but he doesn’t appear ) was presented.
It’s Called "[b:2g5kcp2y][i:2g5kcp2y]Saya Zamurai[/i:2g5kcp2y][/b:2g5kcp2y]"
It’s about an old samurai Kanjuro Nomi, who decided to drop the sword and stop fighting, he wanders around with his only daughter Tae. He is a most wanted for his crime of desiobidience towards the lord.
He’s given the "challenge of the 30s" . During 30 days, he has one chance each day to try and make the young prince smile again. the prince, who lost his mother. If Kanjuro suceeds, he will be free again, otherwise he’ll have to perform the "Seppukku", the samurai suicide.
