From All Movie Guide:
“Suicide has long been used as a form of social protest in Japan. In this film, set in 1703, samurai culture is being transformed by the emergence of a new merchant class. Elements of the social contract are beginning to unravel, and some unscrupulous people took undue advantage of these changes before the social order was re-created. In this story, a rich merchant gives his clerk an I.O.U. instead of wages. When the impoverished clerk presents the paper to the merchant at the agreed upon time asking for payment, the man flies into a rage and pretends he never wrote it and claims the clerk is trying to defraud him. Then he sets his henchmen on the clerk to administer a beating. Though similar in story and period, this is a different film from the 1969 Double Suicide by director Masahiro Shinoda.”

Meiko Kaji received the Kinema Jumpo Award (the Japanese Oscar) as best actress for her performance.

Quote:
Aftermath of Battles Without Honor and Humanity was the ninth and final film in the Battles series, and was the sole one not made by the original director, Kinji Fukasaku. Hiroki Matsukata is the only male star returning from previous installments with newcomers Jinpachi Neu, Mieko Harada and Rudo Uzaki pumping new blood into the proceedings as up-and-coming gangbangers. Although a good idea to have Kudo at the helm, a man responsible for what might be termed jitsuroku sanurai movies as well as several excellent yakuza sagas, the end result is somewhat uneven. Kudo elicits good performances from his young stars, but the writign is not quite up to the high standards of the previous Battles entries. Chris D – Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film
