Shôwa zankyô-den

Through the DVD's era I knew the Japanese's pictures, whereby I've regard it one of best of the world, the crime genre dealing mostly by the thematic Yakusa, Toei Tokyo wasn't a major studio as Toho, but made great movies like this, small budge with secondary actors and directors.

The story took place in a medium city in 1947 after WWII when the survivors soldiers coming back of their home, it's what happens with Seiji Terajima (Ken Takakura) he found his father dead actually a decaying Clan's leader who was killed by an opposite clan which has a bold plan to take over all business in a fair selling goods, His died father left a small letter appointing Seiji as the fifth leader and asking him doesn't looking revenge on no account according Yakusa's rules.

Sadly the opposite clan plays dirty, extolling the new era after the war comes, no more rules must be followed due the Japan's occupancy by US's Army, however the old Yakusa's leaders think otherwise, then the clash is inexorable and a matter of time, also feature many dramatic events about a man called Kasama (Ryo Ikebe) looking for his missing sister among others issues, fine entertainment, in fact Japanese picture never disappoints me, it's an instance.

Thanks for reading.
