Rating: **** It’s an opening series for the a long time. Somewhere along the northern borders of India, a battered soldier recovers. The kindly and idyllic village he’s resuscitating in is set upon; people are shot, stabbed, drowned in a creek. The soldier rises like a messiah, swooping down with a spear against a thundering sky. We don’t see his face yet, wrapped in gauze, although his eyes fill us in. The staging is surprising, mythic and rimmed with darkness. There’s additionally a flaming horse darting across the screen. No surprise Jap...
