The Betrayal (1966)
A naively honorable samurai comes to the bitter realization that his devotion to moral samurai principles makes him an oddity among his peers, and a very vulnerable oddity in consequence. He takes the blame for the misdeeds of others, with the understanding that he will be exiled for one year and restored to the clan's good graces after the political situation dies down. As betrayal begins to heap upon betrayal, he realizes he'll have to live out his life as a master-less ronin, if not hunted down and killed.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
