Hitokiri - From the pen of noted author Shiba Ryutaro (Castle of Owl's, Bakumatsu, Warrior of the Wind, Gohatto) comes GOSHA'S LOST MASTERPIECE! On the all-time wish list of most Japanese film addicts, HITOKIRI has been
little more than a rumor - until now.
A vagrant swordsman (Katsu Shintaro from ZATOICHI) falls under
the influence of an aspiring politician, and carries out a series of
increasingly brutal assassinations while questioning his own
conscience. HITOKIRI shows Gosha at the height of his powers: the
sword-battles here are among the most astonishing ever filmed.
