The Hidden Blade

A lowly samurai (Masatoshi Nagase, MYSTERY TRAIN) rescues a woman from her abusive husband. An unspoken love blooms between them as the samurai's loyalty to his feudal overlord is called into question in this, the second film in a trilogy whose first installment was the Oscar-nominated THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI.
