Synopsis

The ascetic young man Jun works for the wealthy Moriyama family, serving them with a devotion that goes beyond duty. Despite the Western values of the family’s younger generation, who are scheming to sell off the family’s forests, Jun remains devoted to preserving the estate’s cultural heritage.

MUBI's take

Exploring the tensions between Eastern philosophy and Western modernity, this concluding part of Akio Jissôji’s spiritual trilogy is the New Wave iconoclast’s scathing critique of social power structures. An intimate, erotically-charged epic, Poem builds inexorably to its unforgettable final shot.
