Rikyu is a 1989 Japanese drama film about Sen no Rikyū, a 16th-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. The film was adapted from the novel Hideyoshi to Rikyu by Yaeko Nogami. The film was ranked the 7th best film of the year by Kinema Junpo in 1989. It was one of two major biographical drama films directed in 1989 about the life of Sen no Rikyū, the other being Death of a Tea Master by Kei Kumai. Rikyu was selected as the Japanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 62nd Academy Awards but was not accepted as a nominee.

Background

Director Teshigahara, himself a master and teacher of the Japanese traditional art of ikebana, brings the viewer into appreciation and deep sympathy for Rikyu's aesthetic idealism and his careful diplomatic efforts to avoid excessive entanglement in political affairs. The film itself is very studied in its aestheticism, and very expressive of the shocking force of life intruding into the guarded hermetic space of the artist/idealist.
