Japanese master Shohei Imamura examines the life of a murderer from his childhood through his murders, capture and execution. It's a fascinating portrait of a charming but deranged man formed by nature and nurture. Imamura puts an emphasis on the man's father as the root to his madness amongst others. Ken Ogata gives a stellar performance as killer who can be charming and dangerous at the same time. The film is vintage Imamura as he tries to dissects human nature through his fascinating character studies. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
