The cinematography is great, acting is good, but really hard to judge because the movie is set within a movie/drama setting (if that makes sense).
The main actor doesn't speak much because he's been a side actor his whole life (both in the movie and in real life). The main actress is great though. She actually is a skilled chinese sword practitioner.
I think it's mislabeled as a "Documentary", but there is some insight in the movie on how Japanese period dramas are made. It also shows the life of "extras".
