Buy used from: $10.70 This film focuses on one of the most famous battles of the Samurai era - the Battle of Kawanakajima fought between the warlords Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. This tells Uesugi's side from his rise to power to the fourth&greatest Battle of Kawanakajima. Despite some bad background music here and there, the movie overall is an entertaining experience. The visuals are stunning.

 | Kagemusha - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $17.49 Kurosawa's classic Kagemusha is a gorgeous film that traces the death of the great warlord Takeda Shingen to the devastating defeat of his clan at the Battle of Nagashino.
Kagemusha refers to a double who takes the place of another. A thief who bears a striking resemblance to the great warlord Shingen tries to fill very large shoes to keep up the pretense that the feared warrior is not dead.
