About Augustus -The Illustrious One-
Octavian: the first emperor of Rome, who was granted the title "Augustus," meaning “the illustrious one.” How did this man become the heir of Julius Caesar, who had died in the middle of his career? This young hero who, following clashes with Caesar’s confidants like Mark Antony and Brutus, reached at the boundaries of the Pax Romana, is portrayed in this drama that interweaves historical fact with imaginative fiction.
Directed by Tabuchi Daisuke, Augustus -The Illustrious One- leans on a strong ensemble — Ray Yuzuka, Yuuki Hana, Seto Kazuya — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
