Taboo (aka Gohatto) (1999)
From the critically-acclaimed director Nagisa Oshima (Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence) comes Gohatto (Taboo) a samurai drama set in an all male Shinsengumi samurai school in Japan circa 1865.
Young recruit Kano joins the elite fighting force Shinsengumi and realises that he has become the object of desire amongst his fellow comrades. Whilst samurai adhere to a set of strict rules, the senior members of the militia have a growing concern of the consequences of Kano's effect on the other samurai.
The film stars internationally renowned actor and director Takeshi Kitano (Brother, Hana-Bi).
