Sen no Rikyû: Honkakubô ibun (1989)
absolutely marvelous

This Movie is fairly distinguished from other ones by it's quiet way to tell it's story. The film looks for an answer for the reasons of suicide of the most famous Japanese tea master Sen-no-Rikyu in the late 16th century. The story bases on a book by Mr Inoue, called "Honkakubo Ibun". Without using any cheap show effects like naked skin, speed or violence the movie is able to tell the viewer a lot of the Japanese culture and the roots of the tea-ceremony. Pictures, which will abduct you above the clouds and a deep warm expression adding that movie to the leading ones of Japanese film genre. It's not only a film - it's highest art!
