AKIRA KUROSAWA’S FINAL TALE OF LOVE

 

The Sea Is Watching Title

Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

Based on the final screenplay written by the legendary Akira Kurosawa, this Japanese romance is the story of a beautiful young geisha, who hides a samurai seeking refuge. Directed by Kei Kumai, winner of the Directors Guild Of Japan New Director’s Award, this beautiful picture stars Misa Shimizu and Masatoshi Nagase.

Set in a 19th-century brothel, a beautiful young geisha, O-shin, harbours a samurai seeking refuge. Falling in love with O-shin, the samurai hopes to cleanse her of the sins of her possession. But fate and fortune conspire to keep the lovers apart.

“Kurosawa’s script treads the delicate line between conventional morality and decency, as does much of his finest work.” – New York Times
