Samurai Movie Night | Japantown
Come hang out & make new friends at a free screening of a Samurai film in Japantown. Bring your own snacks and join the group afterwards on a quest for refreshment.
Come have a swashbuckling good time thanks to the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California, Nakayoshi and Nihonmachi Roots.
Veteran filmmaker Yoji Yamada — who is perhaps most famous for cranking out most of the 48 films of the Tora-san series — directs this good-natured drama set in the waning years of the Edo period (1600-1867).
The Twilight Samurai plot
Seibei (Hiroyuki Sanada) is a low-level samurai struggling to get by on stipend of 50 rice bales a year while working as a clerk at the clan office. While his co-workers spend their evenings sucking down sake at the local pub, Seibei, whose wife has passed away, heads straight home to care for his two young daughters and doddering mother. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
