205. Vengeance is mine (1979)


Country: Japan
Directed by Shohei Imamura

No matter what the storyline of each movie, Imamura seems every time that is interested only of one thing: to show the dark, confused, deformed face of Japanese society who struggles between the traditional notion of itself and a its new allienating face in the heart of a sudden modernity. Vengeance is mine, as narrating the story of a serial killer without phychological explanations, without sympathy but also without negative judgments, depicts in reality the director's view on this familiar, brutally innocent, without consciouness, monster: the Japanese nation. A film that, even if doesn't offer any easy solution and it's rather disturbing, is masterfully made in any detail
