Aragami
Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura
A dark, meditative supernatural samurai tale that uses immortality and legendary swordcraft to explore the burden of endless existence and the cost of power.
Two seriously wounded samurai find refuge from a storm at an isolated temple, the home of a swordsman and a mysterious young woman. One samurai awakes to find that not only has his comrade died, but that his wounds have miraculously healed. He discovers that he has been given the power of immortality by the swordsman, a man once known as the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, who now lives an endless existence as Aragami, a "god of battle".
