#黒牢城 / #TheSamuraiAndThePrisoner es un whodunnit episòdic en el Japó feudal q m'ha agradat molt, però com a peli es fa molt llarga i crec que hauria funcionat millor com a mini-sèrie.

#TheSamuraiAndThePrisoner. Kurosawa deixa el J-horror per endinsar-se en una història detectivesca al Japó feudal, dividida en 4 episodis. Molt ben rodada, sembla d’una altra època. M’ha costat entrar-hi per la lentitud, el metratge i els diàlegs eterns, però és el que proposa.

#KurosawaKiyoshi‘ s #TheSamuraiAndThePrisoner, which had its world premiere in the Cannes Premiere section, has attracted distribution deals spanning multiple territories through sales agent Charades.
296"26 #TheSamuraiandthePrisoner 147 mins & packed full with an ensemble & plot like a full series jdrama. Love how in 2026, we finally get Kurosawa's first jidaigeki. The craft is topnotch & the juggling of the ensemble does give him time to unpack samurai spirit & past horrors.
