content: Edited film: Film is based on the Japanese classic historical narrative, recounting the last years and grandeurs of the reign of Kiyomori (12th Century) and his death following the burning of Kyoto. Shows the invasion of rival clans from the north and east, and the final retreat of the Heike clan forces to the west, along the Inland Sea. Uses iconographic treatment of ancient art works intermixed with live footage of dances, scenes, artifacts, and buildings.
