Country: Japan
Directed by Tokuzo Tanaka
Expecting a rather trashy production with a simplistic storyline involved a monster who kills and some sugary melodrama, somebody gets impressed by the high quality of a film that combines existentialism with fascinating action, raw violence with tender feelings, awe and terror for the dark side of life with relieve that a final realisation of harmony and cosmic unity gives: the end of the movie is nothing but death but its still highly optimistic. However its not much a surprise if you see the names of the participants in this film, from the composer, to photographer and to scenarist. An unknown and underrated moment of Japanese cinema
