The CinePearl Take

The Twilight Samurai is a 2002 Japanese film in the drama mould — expect human relationships at the centre of the story. Yōji Yamada directs and the script comes from Yoshitaka Asama and Shūhei Fujisawa. With 10 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in Japan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Japanese-language films. Released in 2002, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth.
