Sword of the Beast (1965)

Legendary swordplay filmmaker Hideo Gosha's Sword of the Beast chronicles the flight of the low-level swordsman Gennosuke, who kills one of his ministers as part of a reform plot. His former comrades then turn on him, and this betrayal so shakes his sense of honor that he decides to live in the wild, like an animal. There he joins up with a motley group who are illegally mining the shogun's gold, and, with the aid of another swordsman, gets a chance not just at survival but to recover his name and honor.

Dammit, Criterion Collection, why are you so damn awesome??? You are almost (you hear me? ALMOST) as awesome as this movie!! Mikijiro Hira is just a plain badass actor and a badass swordsman. I highly recommend this Samurai gem of a movie. Excellent storytelling and some amazing samurai sword battles. One of the best out there. The theme of several different characters struggling with their own pride and inner demons really spins nicely with little to no confusion.

Sword of the Beast by Hideo Gosha is a samurai film taking place almost entirely outside in a forest atop a mountain where gold is located. The lush landscapes add a beautiful and timeless backdrop against a wonderful story of betrayal and lost honor. Mikijiro Hira (13 Assassins was a recent Miike film he starred in). plays Gennosuke and infuses his character with all the attributes of the wild beast he has become, yet still retains honor and his humanity in the end. The story is a complex and layered piece that involves several characters and the involvement of Gennosuke which in one way or another helps him to find his honor once again. The film is filled to the brim with stunning battles and duels, all of which seamlessly take place in the wilderness and add a real artistic beauty to the action. This is truly a masterpiece of samurai and Japanese cinema!

very good story. the fighting is great and the lead character does a great job. the diologue is great and the story moves quickly leaving you interested through the entire film. a movie where the end leaves you satisfied.

A non-standard samurai story about the brutality of the system instead of an idealized one. Great fight scenes to boot.

A Japanese B movie...interesting...but lacks the depth of more serious Japanese productions
