Review of Vengeance Is Mine (1979) by Thomas W — 18 Jun 2007
Criterion is slowly but surely getting Imamura's work on video store shelves (or at least the obscure ones that I frequent), and they've recently made this study of a grinning sociopath available.
Some find this to be the late director's finest hour, though I wouldn't agree. Nonetheless, this is a compelling film in which the roots of vengeance are far from arbitrary.
