Product Description

 
Something is rotten in Japan in this engaging drama by acclaimed director Akira Kurosawa. Toshirt Mifune stars as Koichi Nishi, the secretary to the president of a housing corporation, who seeks revenge for his father's murder. At Koichi's marriage to Kieko (Kytko Kagawa), the president's daughter, memories of the death are stirred, and soon corruption within the organization is exposed. Unknown to the officials, Koichi is the hidden force behind the mysterious happenings that begin to weigh on their consciences and ruin their lives. As the story moves toward its tragic conclusion, spectral figures lurk in the darkened streets while others plot and scheme within their shining corporate offices. Loosely based on Shakespeare's HAMLET, Kurosawa's film skillfully combines themes from the classic play with a stylish 1960s film noir mood.

Review: I consider Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998) the greatest of all film-makers and his variation on "King Lear," "Ran" (1985), the culmination of his career one of the five best movies ever made. He directed a large number of great movies, including Seven...
