The narrative culminates in the historic 1575 Battle of Nagashino.\n\nKurosawa's work on Kagemusha received widespread critical acclaim, winning the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. It remains highly regarded as one of the greatest Japanese films of all time.
