Mikio Naruse - Floating Clouds (1955)

Out of boredom I finally created my ultimate "Arthuriana but make it a Jidaigeki" fancast list/pseudo-film treatment.

TL;DR Akira Kurosawa’s Excalibur, set in the Sengoku period.

It’d be three movies released over the course of 10 years, with the final movie being released in 1975. First film focuses on Arthur’s early battles and ends on his marriage to Guinevere, second film focuses on Guinevere and Lancelot’s romance as Arthur begins to lose his way, and third film focuses on the end of Camelot but offering a glimmer of hope for the future in the form of the Sir Percival analogue, who succeeds in his quest (not sure if it'd be a retooled Grail Quest or something more like the original Welsh stories).

Not included is the Orkney clan because I posted about them here and I didn't want to repeat myself.

“Yearning, by Mikio Naruse, is one of my favourite films, and I loved the way restraint became the main emotion throughout that film. The question became how to do it. I decided to go back to basics, to really play with the bare minimum in the screenplay. I didn’t want all these subtle emotions expressed through words, but at the same time I wanted to make sure the audience fully understood, and felt, how the characters were feeling.” —Park Chan-wook on the inspirations for Decision to Leave
