2026 · d. Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Starring Masahiro Motoki, Masaki Suda
Within the walls of a besieged castle, a series of inexplicable crimes plunges Lord Murashige’s court into fear and suspicion. Desperate to maintain order and root out the traitor, Murashige turns to an unlikely ally—Kanbei, the brilliant but dangerous prisoner held in his dungeon. This stately, tense whodunnit from cult auteur Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Cloud) plays out like a sinister Agatha Christie mystery set in feudal Japan.
