When the Last Sword is Drawn / Mibu gishi den (2003)
Drama
Yojira Takita's excellent 2003 samurai epic takes place in Meiji-era Japan, when the few remaining samurai were forced to choose sides and fight for either the Emperor or the Tokugawa Shogunate (a time period familiar to American audiences from THE LAST SAMURAI, but explored with more complexity and nuance here). Kiichi Nakai stars as Kanichiro Yoshimura, a principled Bushido warrior whose difficult decisions and complicated path are skillfully revealed through flashback.
Starring: Kiichi Nakai, Kôichi Satô, Yui Natsukawa, Takehiro Murata, Miki Nakatani, Yûji Miyake
