The Twilight Samurai (2002)

The Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibei) (2002) Seibei Iguchi, a low-ranking samurai, leads a life without glory as a bureaucrat in the mid-XIX century Japan. A widower, he has charge of two daughters (whom he adores) and a senile mother he must therefore work in the fields and accept piecework to make ends meet. New prospects seem to open up when Tomoe, his long-time love, divorces a brutal husband. However, even as the Japanese feudal system is unraveling, Seibei remains bound by the code of honour of the samurai and by his own sense of social precedences. The consequences are cruel. ??Eduardo Casais Awards: 38 wins & 9 nominations totalBudget: $5,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $7,372,769Soundtrack: Kimerareta Rhythm (Performed by Yosui Inoue)
