Japan
| 1962 | Kenji Misumi
A skilled samurai swordsman in 19th-century Japan seeks revenge on the scoundrels who left him an orphan not once but twice. Raizo Ichikawa (whose premature death at age 37 prompted him to be called “Japan’s James Dean”) stars in this stylish color chanbara (sword-fighting film), the first part of Kenji Misumi’s “Sword Trilogy” (followed by 1964’s Ken and 1965’s Kenki). Written by Kaneto Shindo (Onibaba). Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. Scope DCP. 71 min.
