Kono’s direction gives it a raw, gritty vibe that pulls you into the chaos of battle. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build as we watch Nobunaga evolve from a young warrior into a formidable leader. The performances are quite compelling, especially the lead, who embodies that mix of ambition and ruthlessness. It’s fascinating how the film doesn’t shy away from showing his darker sides, which adds depth. The practical effects for the battles, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm.
