Illusion of Blood AKA Yotsuya kaidan (1965) Shirô Toyoda, Tatsuya Nakadai, Mariko Okada, Junko Ikeuchi

rarefilm — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 22:47:15 +0000

Illusion of Blood takes place in the mid-19th century and concerns a masterless samurai named Iuemon Tamiya (Tatsuya Nakadai) whose single-minded ambition to gain a fief leads him and those close to him to ruin. His troubles begin when he murders his father-in-law for forcing his pregnant wife Oiwa (Mariko Okada) to leave him due to his loss of position. After reuniting with his wife and child, an opportunity to marry into an influential family proves too much of a temptation and he gives Oiwa a poison provided by the equally devious mother of his bride-to-be. But instead of killing Oiwa, it only leaves her face horribly deformed. In a moment of revulsion and wickedness, Iuemon kills her and a young witness and nails their bodies to either side of a door. Iuemon is free to pursue his evil ambitions, but Oiwa’s vengeful spirit gives him no peace and this soon brings ruin to his new family and himself. A side story involves Iuemon’s slightly less-evil friend Gonbei Naosuke (Kanzaburo Nakamura). He lusts after Oiwa’s sister, kills her fiance on the same night that Iuemon kills her father, and he then marries her with the false promise of finding the killer. But since this is a morality play, he’s also doomed to get his comeuppance.

Jigokuhen / Portrait of Hell (1969) Shirô Toyoda, Hideyo Amamoto, Yôko Naitô, Tatsuya Nakadai, Drama

rarefilm — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 22:22:41 +0000

A rebellious Korean artist tests the limits of his sadistic patron, an omnipotent feudal Japanese lord. Yoshihide demands a commission to paint screens of the Hell which he sees the egotistical lord’s peasants suffer. Such a public display will challenge the uncaring upper class’ obsession with their own personal beauty. With Chinese and Buddhist influences at a peak in 11th century Japan, the daimyo Horikawa wanted a mural of Buddhist paradise. As Yoshihide’s ghastly artworks appear to come to life, the painter and his patron’s mutual racism also take their toll.

An adopted son is chosen to succeed the family inheritance, and Ryukichi who had hoped some time to return to his home is left desolate and crestfallen. Choko who still loves him and is true to him continues to work as hard as ever without any other thought but to make him brace up and stand on his own feet.

However, Ryukichi becomes ill and they have to sell the restaurant to pay the hospital expenses. In the midst of this misfortune, Choko’s one hope was to obtain permission from Ryukichi’s father, even at his death-bed, to become husband and wife. With this one hope she had endured all hardships with no complaint. When Ryukichi’s father dies, all her hopes were dashed, and she was even refused to attend the funeral. In utter despair, Choko attempts to commit suicide, but fails in the attempt. Ryukichi gives up all hope to return to his house and determines to remain with Choko. Although rejected for their illicit bond, Ryukichi and Choko cling together by need, the unbreakable ties of love, and devotion.
