I honestly could have used almost any frame from this film. I think it's truly beautiful. I first watched this way back in high school in the only film-related elective class offered at my school. We watched a ton of classics that I'm to this day grateful for seeing but this one may be at the top of my list. It's just a well-told story that is beautifully filmed in black and white with actors walking a fine line between naturalistic, humanistic performances and the conventions of Jidaigeki.
