The Bad Sleep Well (1960)

£0.00

(Warui Yatsu Hodo Yoku Nemuru)


Country: JAP
Technical: bw/scope 151m
Director: Akira Kurosawa
Cast: Toshiro Mifune, Masayuki Mori, Kyoko Kagawa

Synopsis:

An updating of Shakespeare's Hamlet set amid the underworld of the Yakuza.

Review:

Another of its director's western borrowings, albeit undeclared, a cathartic bloodbath averted by a restoration of the status quo. The widescreen is thoughtfully used and the acting more restrained than usual, but this is a minor work.
