Netflix delivered another DVD which we watched tonight - The Twightlight Samurai, reviewed in the NY Times.
It's the story of a samurai who is not a warrior but a bookkeeper for his clan. The time is the mid-1800's. He is a widower who loves his sweet daughters and aging mother. When a childhood sweetheart reappears as a divorced woman - the old flame still burns for both of them.
As the title implies, there is some fighting, but not a lot and the fight at the end of the movie is as much conversation as it is sword fight.
I give it a B+
