everything you have heard about this movie is true.

An absolute waste of money

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Always of great interest to me , the cinema of Director Satsuo Yamamoto. Independent intensely rebellious and socially conscious, Yamamoto's diverse range of film projects are permeated with his socialist politics. He created great dimension to his cinematic art, a profound layer of entertainment value. Tengu-tô is an excellent multi layered drama film that fictitiously recounts the actual historical events of the Mito Tengu Group who attempted to overthrow the Shogunate during the Bakumatsu Period (1853-67 ) As an uncertain future looms, a time of social upheaval, brutalized peasant farmer Sentaro (Tatsuya Nakadai) meets an idealistic young samurai Genjirô (Go Kato). Sentaro is drawn into a conflicting & deadly power play, clash of political ideology...

One of the worst samurai movie of 60th: yes, I really mean it. It's not clear understand how Satsuo Yamamoto made such dull and faded film with Nakadai, Go Kato and attractive plot. Great Nakadai wears one, OK may be 2 or 3, expression on his face in that way gives to understand how badly he has not like work in the movie. Structure of the frame absolutely accidental, visual poorness of the film wonder me, I never understand people who rates this on 10. Was he or she sее works of Masaki Kobayashi, Hideo Gosha, others great directors or just appearance of samurai and swords makes them ecstatic? Apologize for possible errors - my English far from perfect.
