January 1905, Manchuria. The Russo-Japanese War has been going on for nearly a year. The Japanese has just dealt the Russians a notable blow by capturing Port Arthur. The end seems to be in sight but the Japanese themselves are in the blink of collapse as their manpower and resources are stretched to the full. Preparing a final showdown with the Russians, the Japanese sends Lieutenant Tatekawa and 5 soldiers on a scout mission. They are to go behind the Russian lines for information of their subsequent plans. These 6 get what they need, but the essential and toughest part is to make it back.

Akira Kurosawa wrote the script in 1943, in the middle of WWII. Although the script as used here was thoroughly revised (with help from Hideo Oguni), the original version clearly mirrors the state that the Japanese were in at that time in WWII, and what lesson is to be learnt. Instead of encouraging reckless action and stupid sacrifices, this story emphasizes the need to stay alive in order to complete the mission ahead. Such cowardly-looking bravery is also the theme of The Men Who Tread on the Tiger’s Tail, which was completed and directed by Kurosawa around the end of WWII.

The post Yasuzô Masumura – Hyoheki AKA The Precipice (1958) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Aya successfully stages a fashion show in Osaka and in the train on her way home to Tokyo accidentally treads on a man’s foot. The man whose name is Rentaro is not amused. Just afterwards she notices that he is reading a magazine which carries her picture which he crushes and throws under his seat. One of her customers in Tokyo is a pretty girl named Kana for whom she had designed a dress which at first seems quite satisfactory. But a few days later Kana brings it back. It seems her brother thinks it terrible. But when Kana brings the dress back she meets Aya’s brother, Takeshi, with whom she becomes friendly and Takeshi gives her a new dress which he smuggles out of his sister’s office. When Aya finds Kana’s discarded dress and misses one belonging to another customer she goes to see Kana’s brother, and to her surprise finds him to be the fellow whose foot she’d stepped upon in the train…
