Description

[Machine Translation] In the chaos of primitive Japan, this shocking drama explores the taboos of eros, politics, and religion! --In ancient Japan, Himiko, a priestess who could hear the words of the gods, ruled over the country. But when Himiko sees Takehiko, her half-brother, grow up to be a man, she falls in love with him, and Takehiko accepts. The chief of the land, Okimi, learns of this and questions Himiko's divine word. But Himiko's followers, on the contrary, stab Ohkimi to death for doubting the word of God. An ancient romantic film directed by Masahiro Shinoda. Himiko, the queen of Yamataikoku, is played by his wife, actress Shima Iwashita. She passionately plays Himiko without white paint and eyebrows. The avant-garde style of the film attracted attention, and it was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival.
