Review of Sword of the Beast (1965) by Mjs M — 30 Dec 2007
Dammit, Criterion Collection, why are you so damn awesome??? You are almost (you hear me? ALMOST) as awesome as this movie!! Mikijiro Hira is just a plain badass actor and a badass swordsman. I highly recommend this Samurai gem of a movie.
Excellent storytelling and some amazing samurai sword battles. One of the best out there. The theme of several different characters struggling with their own pride and inner demons really spins nicely with little to no confusion.
