Juichiro YAMASAKI 山崎樹一郎
Sanchu Uprising: Voices At Dawn
新しき民
Nippon Visions ½
At times when big budget Japanese period dramas are nearly nonexistent, this independent jidaigeki steps into the breach. Based on true events, NIPPON VISIONS AWARD recipient Juichiro YAMASAKI recounts the hardships surrounding an uprising of the people of Sanchu in the year 1726. With an unconventional stylistic approach, YAMAZAKI creates an impressive hybrid of arthouse and period piece.
