Tadashi Imai’s Revenge Joining Masters Of Cinema Family
A lacerating attack on the absurdity and hypocrisy of feudal Japan from the screenwriter of Harakiri
We love finding out what great films that will join Eureka Entertainment‘s Masters Of Cinema range. Tadashi Imai‘s Revenge[Adauchi],will be the latest film to join in June, with the tragic Japanese Samurai classic debut on Blu-ray, from a new 2K restoration.
A cruel jidaigeki masterwork from director Tadashi Imai (Cruel Tale of Bushido) and screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto, the writer of Masaki Kobayashi’s great masterpiece Harakiri, Revenge is a lacerating attack on the absurdity and hypocrisy of feudal Japan.
An innocuous comment during a weapon inspection wounds the pride of low-ranking samurai Shinpachi (Kinnosuke Nakamura), leading to an argument with his superior. The situation snowballs out of control, leading to a deadly duel and political fallout which threatens the entire clan.
