Há 60 anos Aru kyôhaku estreava no Japão. Estava sendo um redondamente perfeito filme de vingança até o segundo final - não faz sentido transformar uma vida de suplício sendo chantageado (e aqui notei a referência de Stangers on a train) em uma reles prisão. DVDRip no MakingOff.

Works very well as both a gripping noir and a character-driven story about desperation, cowardice, and social expectations. Features some excellent performances by Nobuo Kaneko and Akira Nishmura, and Kurahara's direction is precise but has some unexpected moments.

Best parts of this noirish film are the script and performance by Ko Nishimura as the underachieving night manager. It's a pity that director Kurahara is not able to lift this film above average like he did with his previous "I am Waiting". Even at just 65mins the film feels a bit overlong.

The whole thing just screams 'studio job' from a director whose work I've come to appreciate as more than. It's not bad, though. I'd consider it higher with a better actor to replace Nobuo Kaneko (he ranges on terrible at times, but mostly just exaggerated) and a more fleshed out finale.

Riveting noir. The running time is a quick 65 minutes, but nothing's missing here. It's a wonderfully constructed story, loaded with surprises and tightly wound tension. Nishimura is fantastic as the clerk, torn between the obligations his social standing demands and his resentment. Kaneko is slimy and devious but not cartoonishly so. The photography is spot on, especially during the gripping robbery scene. The ending is a nice touch, although it may be the weak point as it defies explanation.

Occasionally overstylized moments, as is unfortunately typical of Japanese films. Didn't really understand the cop showing up at the very end.
