is, I believe, the title used when this film was screened in the tai
kato retrospective at the American cinematheque a few years back.
this movie is extremely intense and great. TK movies really come
with some bad ass characters... it's been a long while since the
opportunity to see his films came and went, have not heard
anything of him since. also remember a wonderful ghost story set
in old tyme feudal japan or what have you that was, again, striking
for the rottenness of many of the folks involved in the shocking tale.
I would love to see any of his movies again and wish terribly that
this were possible. . .
anyway the lead actor in this film has a huge scar on his face, I
forget whether it's real or not, but this is not a spoiler"" cause it's
the first thing you see in the first shot and it's a very intense shot:
you really do see that this man's face has a story written on it.
well, if i never see this movie again at least I have the pleasure of
telling y'all to keep a look out for it!
