Himiko

In 1974, Masahiro Shinoda directed a thought-provoking drama that reimagines the ancient myth of Himiko, Japan's legendary sun goddess oracle. The film explores her forbidden love for her half-brother Takehiko, which threatens her power and the kingdom's stability. As Himiko navigates the complexities of her divine role and human emotions, she must confront the consequences of her desires and the fate that awaits her.
