Dan-no-ura Night (1977)
Original title: 壇の浦夜枕合戦記
Dan-no-ura Night is a 1977 Japanese-language history movie directed by Tatsumi Kumashiro, with a running time of 1h 34m. It stars Tokuko Watanabe, Morio Kazama and Junko Miyashita.
Taken out of the pages of history itself, this is the story of the sizzling love between Kenreimon-in of the Taira Clan and Yoshitsuné of the Minamoto Clan. When the Taira Clan had met ignominious defeat at the hands of Yoshitsuné, Kenreimon-in had jumped into the sea with her son, the infant Emperor, but only she had been rescued by Yoshitsuné. A rough-hewn warrior, Yoshitsuné had taken her by force until he awakened an answering love in the Empress with his chamber techniques.
