The Samurai That Night Sunday, July 21, 1 PM (119 min.) Five years have passed since his wife’s death in a senseless hit-and-run, but factory manager Nakamura has found no solace in this time. A ghost of his former self, he trudges through life haunted by this painful tragedy. When his mind turns to vengeance, a new obsession overtakes his life and sets him on a path of violence and self-destruction. With The Samurai That Night, director Masaaki Akahori has crafted a film seeking to peer into those dark corners of humanity which we try to convince ourselves we’ve long shed. An anxious and meditative movie, it draws us uncomfortably close to the action, trapping us in the inescapable claustrophobia of the situation. Join us at the screening, then go home and take a nice, long shower.
