No more than 50 minutes long, few locations, a handful characters, simple and at times predictable story... but well told and with very good acting by the three main actors.
It's basically a moralistic story that uses the traditional portrayal of samurais and their chauvinistic culture to convey a modern message about the relationship between men and women. Camera shots and angles are simple but effective, with some takes slightly longer than average. An enjoyable watch overall, especially for Japanophiles, of course.
The music is simple but good, exactly as the movie, though a little repetitive.
