This is a new movie (released last month in Japan) by director Takahashi Banmei called Zen. The official page is here. There's a preview you can see on the site.
The movie concerns Dogen, the founder of one of Zen's main sects. There is a review from on here. Looks promising! The main actor is Nakamura Kantaro, who mainly does Kabuki, but has been in a few dramas. He was pretty good in the Taiga drama Shinsengumi! He is reunited with Shinsengumi! co-star Fujiwara Tatsuya in this film.
It looks promising! Usually it takes a film about a year to be released on DVD, so it may be awhile before I can see it, but I'll give a shout-out when I know more!
PS: for those interested in modern kimono, the blog where I found the film review is interesting to follow. The main page is here.
