Reviews

  • "One of the great film noirs from any country. It is an absolutely gripping and suspenseful movie, a masterpiece of genre film-making...."
    Japan On Film
  • "Gosha was a true auteur with a vision, a style, a set of concerns, a preference for certain actors and certain kinds of stories, but at the same time he worked in the real world of Japanese samurai filmmaking and played by its conventions."
    Washington Post
  • "After years of watching the films of Japanese masters Yasujiro Ozu, Masaki Kobayashi, and Akira Kurosawa, Gosha’s movies are both jarring and enlightening. You are safe within the hands of the master Samurai."
