The Samurai and the Prisoner

Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center
Friday, July 31, 2026•6:00 PM
In 16th-century Japan, Lord Murashige (Masahiro Motoki) turns against Oda, the warlord he once served, and is besieged inside his own castle, where inexplicable crimes begin to look to Murashige and his frightened advisors like signs of divine judgment. Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s stately jidaigeki is a tense and metaphysical whodunit with the director’s characteristic philosophical overtones, bringing the winding investigations of Cure and Serpent’s Path into a meticulously composed period piece about the manipulation of terror.
