Eijanaika

1981
Drama
2h 31m
Eijanaika is a dramatization of a brief but critical moment in Japanese history when Japan emerges from two centuries of isolationism in the 1860s. This new regime proves more receptive to opening Japan up to trade from the West--particularly America. The story is told through the eyes of a Japanese peasant who has just spent several years in America after being shipwrecked. (All Movie Guide)

Extremely hard to rate this. Technically (sets, period feel, cinematography) it is absolutely brilliant - a real feast for the senses. But plot kept losing me, too chaotic - now I understand that may be partly due to madness of the time (it is non-dry history that actually occurred in Japan - tho main characters are fictional - at a time that perhaps was a bit too "interesting" - certainly movie makes more sense if you have some knowledge of Japan at that time. See it and you decide its worth.
