Samurai Assassin A.K.A. 侍 Samurai (1965)

A Japanese samurai film directed by Kihachi Okamoto, starring Toshiro Mifune.
A ronin who does not know his father is part of a conspiracy to overthrow the current government.
Lots of political intrigue and not much sword fighting. The plot developed very slowly, but this developed the characters very well too. The cinematography was absolutely amazing. I mean like Fire Over England (1937) kind of amazing. You know it looks good when I use 2 images. The 2 hour duration seemed a little long to me because of the slow plot. That's really all there is to say about this film. I rate it o.k.
