Whether the camera peers out between the spokes of a wheel at a moment of battle, or whether it regards the almost abstract lines of Japanese architecture, the eye always has enough time to appreciate the conscious beauty of the subject. The film thus breathes a calm spirit which not even the turbulence of the story can break...
