Trailer & Synopsis
Epic in scope and awash with striking colour, Kagemusha marks Akira Kurosawa's successful return to the samurai epic. Akira Kurosawa's lauded feudal epic presents the tale of a petty thief (Tatsuya Nakadai) who is recruited to impersonate Shingen (also Nakadai), an aging warlord, in order to avoid attacks by competing clans. When Shingen dies, his generals reluctantly agree to have the impostor take over as the powerful ruler. He soon begins to appreciate life as Shingen, but his commitment to the role is tested when he must lead his troops into battle against the forces of a rival warlord.
Kagemusha is showing in cinemas since December 10, 2025 to December 10, 2025
