It's a wonderful, shocking movie and probably my favorite in Japanese cinema. There's probably not another movie I can think of whose runtime is as justified--here, the 3+ hours we get to spend fly by, even though most of the movie is not spent in action sequences. Instead, the movie devotes time and space to characterization, to the slow build-up of logistical preparation, and to quiet moments for the characters that are far more memorable than the (more than adequate) action bits at the end. It's too big, in some ways, to absorb in one sitting and it's one I'd like to return to at least once more.
