Synopse
A whodunnit disguised as a samurai film: In his first period film, Kiyoshi Kurosawa has made a tense, ensemble piece that goes against the grain of conventional historical films. Besieged by the tyrannical warlord Nobunaga Oda, against whom he has revolted, Lord Murashige Araki is confronted with a series of mysterious crimes within his own four walls. Racked with suspicion, Murashige is forced to join up with the brilliant, but dangerous strategist Kanbei Kuroda, whom he is holding prisoner, in order to discover the truth and unmask the traitors in his own ranks.
Regie
