ASSASSINATION OF RYOMA (1974) - REMASTERED Price: $12.99
Description:
Ryoma ansatsu - Story of the last three days in the life of Sakamoto Ryoma (1836-1867) the famed historical figure and would-be assassin who, after converting from nationalist, anti-foreign killer to modernist reformer, negotiated between the Satsuma and Choshu clans in the turbulent 1860s.
A unique jidaigeki story that depicts "the friendship and romance of men and women who bet their lives on a dream as they ran through the darkness of the Bakumatsu period", and Masaki Tamura's camerawork carefully captures that darkness with a contrasty, grainy picture. The film took the number five spot on Kinema Junpo's top ten list for 1974.
