武士の一分 Love and Honor by 山田 洋次 Yoji Yamada, 2006 |
The Twilight Samurai was nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The first part of a trilogy followed by The Hidden Blade and Love And Honor. It was seen as a strong contender to win the Best Foreign Language Film, but missed out on the famous gold statue to Denys Arcand’s Canadian-French drama, The Barbarian Invasions. Once again, The Academy Awards was a snob.
Yôji Yamada 山田 洋次, September 13, 1931. Happy 86th Birthday!
