*TATARA SAMURAI*

Japan, 2016  120 minutes  Japanese with English subtitles

Followed by a Q&A session with director Yoshinari Nishikori and star Naoki
Kobayashi

Nestled in the mountains of ancient Izumo is a village renowned for its
“tatara-buki” steelmaking process. Using a secret method to forge the
purest steel known to man, the blacksmiths of Tatara have become legendary.
Their fame attracts warriors from across the land during the 16th-century
Warring States period, lured by the promise of indomitable katana swords;
but it also attracts the unwanted attentions of rival clans, and of
merchants bent on procuring steel for the latest weaponry: guns. Gorgeously
shot on 35 mm film — the better to capture Shimane’s magnificent scenery,
the Sengoku-era village built for the production by Izumo Shrine craftsmen,
and the excitement of sword fights choreographed by famed stuntman Yoshio
Iizuka — *TATARA SAMURAI* has the look and epic sweep of the sumptuous
cinematic feasts once served up by the major studios.
