The last film of the trilogy.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hiroshi Inagaki's trilogy finale pits Toshiro Mifune's Musashi against Kojiro on the beach. Calm and handsome, it ends the saga with a famous, atmospheric duel and a sense of hard-won peace.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
