Pitfall

Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara uses a ghost story to draws attention to a political and social issue of corruption in the mine industry. While the story is set in the 60's Japan, the issue is universal that's true all over the world where mining and similar industries tries to exploit their workers. A deserter who works the mines is brutally murdered and his ghost wants to find out the reason behind it. Teshigahara achieves his goal with this beautifully shot and acted film that stands the test of time. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
