Samurai: Behind the Blade
Japan's ancient samurai tradition is chronicled in this hourlong documentary, which looks to history, science and literature to answer questions about the legacy and mysterious lives of the warrior aristocracy. The film examines some of the truths behind the mask, including the samurais' preoccupation with death, their impressive mastery of fine arts and their code of honor -- which carried a heavy price.

Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
