Opening credits
Il n'y a pas de plus profonde solitude que celle du samouraï si ce n'est celle d'un tigre dans la jungle... peut-être...
There is no solitude greater than that of the samurai unless it be that of a tiger in the jungle... perhaps...
Epigraph ascribed to the Bushidō (the Japanese code of conduct associated with the samurai), but apparently original to Melville.
