Saw Goyokin at Cinemateket in Oslo recently, and was really amazed. Already from the hauntingly beautiful beginning, with the young girl returning to her village, I was completely captured by the stunning cinematography (never has mud been so pretty) and music.
The story is alright, and the fight scenes are more realistic than usual in this genre, which fits the film well. The costumes and sets also seems realistic, though I'm not an expert on that. But it is the visual beauty, with many scenes in a snowy winter, and the music, that sets you in a in a wonderful, melancholic mood.
9/10
