Short description

A tale of revenge, honor and disgrace, centering on a poverty-stricken samurai who discovers the fate of his ronin son-in-law, setting in motion a tense showdown of vengeance against the house of a feudal lord.

What's left behind the scenes

A film adaptation of Yasuhiko Takiguchi's novel.
The first film with a title including '3D' shown in the main competition program of the Cannes Film Festival.
When a wooden wakizashi is thrust into the abdomen (after the tip has broken off), you can see the blade sliding into the handle.
