Sea is set during the late Edo period (middle 1800's), just before the Meiji Restoration. The samurai have outlasted their societal usefulness and the lifestyles depicted are about to be radically changed.I forgot to mention that Sea's director, Kei Kumai, also directed the outstanding "Sandakan No. 8." That film is similar in theme to Sea, and it broke my heart when I saw it in the theater. It depicts the fate of a poor woman being sold into a life of prostitution at the frontier of the Japanese Empire in Borneo during the 1930's, and cruelness of mainland Japanese turning away and closing their doors on these women. Highly recommended.
