I'm relatively new to the old samurai films. I pushed through on Seven Samurai and enjoyed it overall, although slow. Then I watched Lady Snowbird (which was without question a series that inspired Quentin Tarantino) and I enjoyed that overall as well. I moved to watch this one, and although it takes you on an interesting journey of a man losing his soul to rage (I suppose) the end sequence is just a grinder of chaos. I really loved this movie, and I would watch again to try and break it down again to see the deeper meaning of it all. Some incredibly iconic camera angles that really helped this movie along as well.
