ironymaiden | Snow on the Blade

Beautiful Japanese film about duty in the transition into the Meiji era. I was hoping for more swordplay, but the acting was great and it was so pretty. I didn't get to stay for the entire q&a...the director was charming and his translator was quite good. I love hearing the Japanese -speaking part of the audience react before the rest of us. Good experience. I need to read more about the period.

Beautiful walk down to the Egyptian for the next film.
