| Overview: | Legendary/notorious Japanese novelist and cultural icon Yukio Mishima makes a rare screen appearance as Takeo, a young yakuza who reluctantly leaves prison to re-enter a dizzying world of kidnapping, attempted assassinations, attacks and retaliations. Torn by family duty, self-preservation, and his desire for his new-found love Yoshie (Ayako Wakao, "Manji"), Takeo blasts and bluffs his way through this treacherous maze, until he finds he can no longer outrun destiny.
Japanese New Wave master Yasuzo Masumura propels this deslirious, fast-paced yakuza-satire with a jazzy score, eye-popping visuals, and a trademark sense of the absurd.
