Plot:Jojima Orin is orphaned when Tsunejiro murders her father, and is later adopted and becomes a gambler just like her father. She meets Tsunejiro again at a party when she confronts the mob to take back the restaurant that rightfully belongs to her family.
Overview:Affectionately directed by Hideo Gosha, the renowned director of "Three Outlaw Samurai" and "226", "Heat Wave" gives an immense portrayal of human sins and vainness of life. Jojima Orin is orphaned when Tsunejiro cruelly murders her father. She is later adopted by the Kosuji family, which runs a large restaurant called Yagumo in Kumamoto, and becomes a gambler just like her father once was. Orin meets Tsunejiro again in a gambling party when she resolves to confront the Iwabune mob and take back the Yagumo that rightfully belongs to her brother. "Heat Wave" features the Japanese Film Academy Best Actress Kanako Higuchi (of "Ronin-Gai" and "Bed Time Eyes") as the gambling expert Orin and Masahiro Motoki (of "Sumo Do, Sumo Don't") as Orin's brother Ichitaro. Both grievous and compelling, the film is considered as another of Gosha's masterworks.
