Review of Chushingura

Chushingura (1962)
10/10
A great film that is almost unknown
2 March 2004
I consider this to be the greatest almost-unknown film of all time. I haven't seen it in 40 years, yet I can still remember scenes from it!

It played in a theater in Berkeley CA for 1 or 2 years straight, around 1964, and I saw it twice at that theater.

The story is based on a classic Japanese legend, so that there are many different movie versions - but as far as I've heard, this is the best.

I have no idea where to find a vhs or dvd copy at this time... perhaps someone reading this knows.
