Kubi (2023)

Description

The timeline of the film covers events from the Siege of Arioka castle in 1579, leading to the Honno-ji Incident and the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Yamazaki in 1582. The narrative of the film alleges the central role played by interpersonal homosexual relationships across the officer corps of Oda Nobunaga. Nobunaga utilizes his overlordship and maintenance of sexual domination across his generals (most notably Araki Murashige and Akechi Mitsuhide) as his means of intimidating them into loyalty.
