Samurai Saga

Samurai Saga

1959, Movie, 1h 51min

Following the triumphs of THE SAMURAI TRILOGY and RICKSHAW MAN, celebrated jidai-geki master Hiroshi Inagaki and legendary star Toshiro Mifune reteamed for this superlative adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s evergreen play “Cyrano de Bergerac,” which faithfully transplants the action to seventeenth-century Japan. Mifune delivers one of his finest and most affecting performances as the bulbous-nosed poet-samurai who puts his own feelings aside to help another man woo the princess (Yoko Tsukasa) they both love. Swooningly romantic, boisterously comic, and rapturously colorful, SAMURAI SAGA is a grand paean to the chivalric ideals of love.
