Unlike the superstylized films from the Sixties one often remembers Teshigahara for, Rikyu is imbued with exquisite calm and perfection, very much like the tea ceremony itself, and a strong humanitarian approach often amiss in his earlier work. Some superb acting here as well, where the perfectly balanced Mikuni Rentaro serves as complementary to the headstrong Yamazaki Tsutomu.

the inspirational story of the founder of Japanese tea ceremony and one of Japans most acclaimed artisans. this humble film shows the tragedy and delicacy of life in Japans feudal days. full of subtly and refinement.

This movie is pure genius. Absolutely pure genius.

Timeless in principle and disturbingly so in it's struggle: "This is the story of the duel between art and politics, of the beliefs of one man against the ambitions of another..." Can art be defended from those who would "use" it rather than living it?

A history of the origins of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Hardly sounds like a recipe for riveting film making, does it? I'm glad I gave this a spin since while understated, it's also an extremely powerful movie which had me spellbound. Tea drinking, you see, was part of the Samurai state of mind, a way of attaining purity of mind before going into battle. One lump or two?
