Hoikkaset ja Kagemusha
Ensemble Hoikkaset had a gig in Kannonkoski, Finland. Folk music with nicely relaxed feeling.
I watched a DVD-movie - Kagemusha The Shadow Warrior directed by Akira Kurosawa. I've seen it once before, some 25 years ago. I'm still impressed. Violence of war was not shown so explicitly as in today's movies but with postures and facial expressions of soldiers watching the killings. Though there was blood and other ugly things of military glory NOT everything was shown . Ellipses are sometimes a good way to go. And the beginning of the film, the first scene - some six minutes, camera not moving. Only three men talking politics...
