The Twilight Samurai
Dir. Yoji Yamada Japan 2004 
Set in the 19th Century, Twilight Samurai is a quiet contemplative story about a young widower samurai Seibei Iguchi (Hiroyuki Sanada), who must care for two young daughters and an ailing mother. Seibei returns home to tend to his fields and family after working all day in a warehouse and becomes known to his co-workers as ėtwilight Seibei. Although seemingly content to remain unmarried, Seibei takes comfort in the company of Tomoe, a childhood friend who has recently left her abusive husband, Koda. When Koda demands to have a duel with the samurai, Seibei defeats him by using only a stick. The news of his victory spreads quickly, and when political unrest between rival clans breaks out the destiny of these star-crossed lovers becomes threatened. (129m)
