An opulent adaptation of #JamesClavell’s 1975 historical fiction based on the life of the English navigator #WilliamAdams, set in feudal Japan, this epic is resplendent with artistic visuals, deeply enriching cultural elements & a storyscape that appears magnificently original. There’s plenty of drama, action, political tension churning in the swirling battles & grand armies fronting 17th-century Japan at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. The treatment is raw, intense & brutal yet never voyeuristic. The narrative leans towards politics & philosophies & keeps you entranced in its luxurious enrichment of Eastern mystique. This is a sprawling period drama, a riveting re-imagining that finds strength in words and artistic accomplishments rarely experienced before.
