Abstract:

A young executive seeks revenge for his father's death through a chilling and drawn-out strategy. A tale about corruption in the boardrooms of postwar corporate Japan as seen through the rising executive eyes. With Mifune Toshiro, Mori Masayuki, Kagawa Kyoko. "One of Kurosawa's best films, in some ways a prophetic work. Set up as a tantalizing thriller, Kurosawa's melodrama is laced with irony and bitter, grotesque humor." -- Facets Video, http://www.facets.org
