I've found on emule this great and unknown film by the forgotten master Tomu Uchida. Uchida's other period film of 1960, Killing in Yoshiwara, though one of his best known works in the West (it led David Shipman to declare him “the equal of Mizoguchi and Kinugasa”), is ultimately one of his most conventional. The tragedy of a wealthy silk merchant exploited by a heartless whore, it dovetails his fall and her rise; despite the elegance of the dramatic construction, the emotional effect is finally a little monotonous. The violent climax is, once again, directed with breathtaking assurance; it is, in fact, perhaps the single most brilliant scene in Uchida's oeuvre. Even so, it lacks the gravity of similarly explosive endings in Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji, The Outsiders and The Horse Boy. So academically perfect is the narrative development that the bloodshed, when it comes, seems less tragic than perversely satisfying. It's taken from a french dvd box set.

¡Invocáis mi piedad!Bueno, bueno... Me apiado de vosotros, holleymartins y camaguayo. Así que, si no surgen dificultades insalvables, en cuanto tenga bajada la peli miraré de traducir los subs al español, los subiré a ET y dejaré en este hilo el enlace.Por cierto: si lo consigo, me deberéis un café.Saludos.
