  Jackfish Crow » Twilight’s Gift
Twilight was well-known to the people of the Northern lands, and on many a day he could be found sitting by the fire of an inn, where he would turn the shadows into stories on the walls and make magic in the spaces between light and dark.
Now in those days, Twilight often wandered from one inn to another, but as he furled the lady Night’s cloak that morning, he returned to the same inn where he had met the dark-eyed girl and he wove all his shadows into the shapes of her stories.
For three days and three nights, Twilight lay with the dark-eyed girl, and spun shadows for her, and she tied ribbons in his hair and told him stories such as that his dreams were filled with colors.

There's only a couple of fight scenes, and while both are well-filmed and suspenseful, they're short and with only a fraction of blood you would expect from a movie with the word "samurai" in the title.
While the film's running time is daunting at 129 minutes, and the prospect of little action might suggest stretches of boredom for the viewer, the film moves at a brisk pace and keeps us engaged with suspense surrounding the many dilemmas Iguchi faces.
I found myself caring--a lot--about the outcome of the handful of duels, the reappearance of Tomoe (played beautifully by Rie Miyazawa), the fate of Iguchi's daughters, and Iguchi's constant struggle to balance his duty to his master and his duty to his broken family.
