O-Roshiya-koku suimu-tan (1992)
Epic account of the first Japanese to reach the court of the Tsarina.
1 October 2002 - 5 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
Sumptuous filming of the journey of a shipwrecked Japanese expedition from the Pacific Ocean across Siberia to the court of Catherine the Great of Russia. A Russo-Japanese co-production of a unique event in history which was the hit of Cannes and other film festivals but did not receive wide distribution despite its huge scope, high production values, and very human story of culture clash.
