What Samurai Rebellion is
You serve a clan, accepting arranged marriages as facts. But your lord demands your wife returned to him. His request dishonors her, you, your father. Loyalty is a double-edged sword. Kobayashi offers a deeply humanistic counterpoint to more romanticized samurai pictures. The film lingers on the faces of men pushed to their limits.
