Des infos en anglais, donc je comprend trop peu de choses :
"This is a revisionist relook at the Kaizo Koike/Goskei Kojima source. Much of Koike's themes are still present. But gone is the Leoneesque backdrop of Gods and myths. In their place is a sense of humanity and loss that is stunning.
Some have been outraged. How dare they say the filmmakers turn Ogami into a sniveling wimp (their words not mine). How dare the filmmakers get rid of the baby cart. The critics say the filmmakers have no understanding of the source and should have left well enough alone.
They are wrong. The filmmakers have a respect for this story that is reverent. There is not one missed opportunity. There is not one compromise. The filmmakers approach the story without a shred of condescencion. This film is treated the same as if it had been Ingmar Bergman. This is drama at its most potent and heartening.
Never before has Ogami been so human (that's human not a wimp). Never has Daigoro been so innocent (so much like a child which is what he is). Never before has Retsudo Yagyu been such a well defined character. Never has the love between father and son been so genuine. And lastly, never has the acting been this good. Wakayama is so associated with the role of Ogami that all who have came since have suffered in comparison.
Tamara bears absolutely no resemblance to Wakayama but his interpretation is flawless, trading in the stoicism for sadness, Godliness for humanity. He is equal to Wakayama. Tatsuya Nakadai has appeared in many films and is an actor listed alongside Toshiro Mifune; here one can easily see why. His is the definitive Retsudo Yagyu portrayal.
This is a perfect film. The action scenes are as poetic as they are exciting. The story filled with little moments of emotional perfection. The characters and relationships leap off the screen. Lastly the theme of the futility of violence is expertly realized. The final battle is a masterwork. The best duel I have ever seen. It's tense, cathartic, visually stimulating, and emotionally devastating. A final statement in one of the best works of world cinema."
En fait, ça dit quoi ?
