Quote:
When Joji Hibiki’s (Hiroyuki Sanada) father is dying he tells his son of a deep dark secret that sends Joji reeling into another time, to his childhood. His father tells him that he is not his father and that Joji’s is not his son. He learns that his real name is Joji HINOHARA and that he was a child who he kidnapped, one of two twin brothers and a sister now blind still living in Japan. Soon Joji is in flight to Japan his homeland from America, but not before learning of the chilling fate his real parents suffered one night under mysterious circumstances. He also learns of his twin brothers recent and supposedly random death. Once back in his native country he is welcomed with loving arms from his sister (played by Etsuko Shihomi) and his Uncle Ikeda (Seizo Fukumoto) but it’s not long before Joji overhears his uncle talking about a precious family arlume ”The Queen of Sheba” (A 130CT diamond) in exchange for drugs. He begins to suspect his uncle is behind more than he could have ever feared. Joji becomes another obstacle for his Uncle Ikeda’s plans for rising into supreme and treacherous power. ☆Norifumi Suzuki takes the reigns and leaves this film a veritable time capsule back into the film work world of one of Japans few noted masters. Sure to be memorialized, noted as a true great work, a colorful array of Japanese artistry’s woven and tightly knit into a single fabric.
