imdb Bandits on the Wind, Inagaki. This movie is beautiful, funny, heroic. It’s a shame it’s not better known. At one point the most immature and pathological bandit (in a bad bunch) is forced to pretend to be a prince. The timing that shows this Japanese’s inability to sit cross legged is hysterical. There’s a wonderful joke where a bandit weeps to recall how peasants were forced to build a defensive wall, and then slaughtered to keep it secret. “How did you escape?” another bandit wants to know. “Escape nothing: I was one of the guys doing the killing!” The martial arts triangle defense–two katana and a spear–is stellar. The bandits blend cooperation and chaos as it suits them; in the end their Bushido is heroic.

The post Hiroshi Inagaki – Yatô kaze no naka o hashiru (1961) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Very entertaining Kihachi Okamoto feature, and while it is a WWII film, it is also a tribute to John Ford’s Westerns, set in Manchuria. In addition to the regulars in the series, a fine performance by the always lovely Kumi Mizuno.

One of Okamoto’s trademarks is his recessive staging, i.e. the big foreground wide-angle look, the kind of wide-screen composition which is quite common in spaghetti westerns, particularly those of Sergio Leone’s (partly due to the technical problems of the Techniscope format, widely used in Italy in that period). We could notice this signature in Okamoto’s late 50s films already, that is, a few years earlier than Leone and other western directors.
