Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at history buffs and war-film fans. Leaves you with something to think about. A good follow-up to Harakiri or Silence.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 41 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In Tokugawa-era (1637) Shimabara, oppressed peasant Christians revolt against the shogunate with the aid of charismatic Christian rebel leader Shiro Amakusa.
