In the mid 19th century, a silkworm merchant travels from France to Japan to locate silkworm eggs that are uncontaminated by the epidemic that threatens Europe’s silk supply. The merchant falls in love with the occidental concubine of a Japanese baron, though he has a loyal and doting wife awaiting his return. (Source)

Welp, this movie has 2 hot chicks: Keira Knightley and Sei Ashina (appears to be a new actor). Mixes up western culture and eastern culture.
I thought the trailer had some corny bits:
Honestly, I wouldn’t understand why anyone would step away from Keira Knightley.
The Japanese samurai looking guy looked very familiar, though it appears that I don’t really know him: Kôji Yakusho.
The ending song I thought was really nice. Decided to see if I could find the music. According to some sources, it’s an original score composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto
Most likely will come with the movie’s soundtrack.
I just noticed the trailer has been removed from both the Yahoo! HD Trailers page and the Yahoo! Movies info page. However, the direct links to the trailers still work.
If the links do die, please leave a note, and I’ll upload the 1080p version.
