The post Seiichirô Uchikawa – Dojo yaburi AKA Dojo Challengers 1 – Samurai from Nowhere (1964) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This first feature by the legendary Hideo Gosha is among the most beloved chanbara (sword-fighting) films. An origin-story offshoot of a Japanese television phenomenon of the same name, Three Outlaw Samurai is a classic in its own right. A wandering, seen-it-all ronin (Tetsuro Tamba) becomes entangled in the dangerous business of two other samurai (Isamu Nagato and Mikijiro Hira), hired to execute a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of a corrupt magistrate. With remarkable storytelling economy and thrilling action scenes, this is an expertly mounted tale of revenge and loyalty.

The post Hideo Gosha – Sanbiki no samurai AKA Three Outlaw Samurai (1964) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This is an unusual work from the transitional period of “Toei’s realistic line”, depicting the life of corporate racketeers, a variant of modern yakuza. The protagonist is modeled on Ogawa Kaoru, who screenwriter Kasahara Kazuo became interested in after learning about her existence while researching “Battles Without Honor and Humanity” (non-fiction series). Kasahara closely interviewed Ogawa and wrote the script. The “economic yakuza,” who had only appeared in supporting episodes until then, are now fully featured as the main theme and protagonist, and the film is said to have been a precursor to later Hiroshima jingi: Hitojichi dakkai sakusen (1976) and Nippon no Don: Yabohen (1977), as well as the “financial yakuza films” and “economic yakuza films” that were mass-produced on original video

The post Jun’ya Satô – Soshiki bôryoku (1967) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Letterboxd-Review:
A superb proto-jitsuroku type yakuza film by Junya Sato. Fumio Watanabe (in probably his best role) is a wonderfully cast against type as a crime boss who actually cares for his men and is the first one to barge into fight when rivals come knocking on the door. Powerful political figure Eijiro Yanagi becomes his consultant, after which short tempered rival boss Ryohei Uchida starts feeling the fire under his arse. Things get even more heated after Watanabe takes a Ginza gambling joint from the Chicago mafia with the assistance of machine gun happy lone wolf Noboru Ando. Tetsuro Tamba, Hideo Murota and Rinichi Yamamoto are a detective squad in a desperate battle against red tape while trying to bring the gangs down. The story is fictional, but the film feels like a jitsuroku movie. Sato draws an entire underworld map with cops, gangsters and political players all placed on the same chess table. The film is talkative, but never boring, feels extremely matter of fact, and comes with a fabulous musical score by Masaru Sato.
