A low-budget UK film with an epic, big-budget feel. British-born
debut director, Kapadia shot The Warrior in the heat of
the Rajashani desert and the cold mountains of the Himalayas.
It tells the story (based on a Japanese folk legend) of
a violent killer in the service of a tyrannical lord who
experiences a spiritual awakening and abandons his profession.
The majestic scale of its imagery counters the simplicity
of the film's narrative. Dialogue is kept to a minimum while
the musical score and epic camera-work combine to create
an ambitious first feature of great panache.
