Uzumasa Limelight (2014)
Directed by Ken Ochiai
Overview
Fewer samurai films are being made, and the Uzumasa studio has fallen on hard times. One day, veteran “kirareyaku” (whose job it is to be felled with a sword by a film’s star) actor Kamiyama is tasked with teaching sword action techniques to fledgling actress Satsuki. A few years later, the now-retired Kamiyama is visited by Satsuki, who has become a popular star.
