47 Ronin
Directed by Kon Ichikawa
Produced by Toho Pictures, TOHO
A solemn, historically grounded meditation on samurai honor and loyalty, built around a group's collective dedication to avenging their lord's forced death.
Kon Ichikawa's retelling of the classic true story of Samurai honor. When a young clan lord is forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide), his loyal followers (now Ronin, masterless Samurai) dedicate their lives to avenging his death.
