“The famous novelist Yukio Mishima called this film u0026quot;a Greek Tragedy of Japanu0026quot;.This Mishimau0026#39;s comment is right. The story of this flick has the aura of inevitability,and the inevitability goes to the awful tragic ending. A man must kill his friend in the rule of Yakuza society,even he does not want to kill him,and the man must go to jail. This is a typical representative of chivalrous type Yakuza flicks,and the best picture of this type.Kosaku Yamashitau0026#39;s directing of this film is very imposing,and the photography by Ngaki Yamagishi is very beautiful,the scenario is very well written by Kazuo Kasahara(later he wrote the scenario of u0026quot;Yakuza Papersu0026quot;), the music of Toshiaki Tsushima fits in well with this film.This is a real masterpiece of this genre.”
