New movie for me never watched this movie nor heard about it before. Well the details sound's good hope i will get to watch it someday. Thank you for sharing this movie.

sounds really cool but never got chance to watch it. Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful post with us, in this forum and make me know about it..

The unfortunate part is that the Academy didn't give this film its full recognition. The only award it won was for Best Costume Design. It's no wonder that Akira Kurosawa and Martin Scorcese were friends since both of them get constantly stiffed by the Academy.
