Plot:	Based on the true story of Iwao Enokizu (Ken Ogata) and his murderous rampage which sparked a 78-day nationwide manhunt.
Overview:	Imamura Shohei's chilling portrait was voted the best Japanese film of the decade by critics in both Los Angeles and New York. Based on a true story and a prize-winning novel, this is an icily precise account of a killer who abandons his devout Catholic family and his faith to go on a 78-day spree of murder and mayhem. The unnerving objectivity with which Imamura tells the story, combined with the film's formal beauty and precision and its refusal to explain or condemn, produces a devastating effect. "Inside of this man, could there be nothing but hollowness? I think I can see the forlorn inner soul of today's man." (Imamura)
