- Synopsis
- A moral play based on a Maxim Gorky story. A typical reversal of fortune, where the person that seems more merciful is mean, and the one who seems mean ends up being merciful and kind. There's a morale towards the treating of others and how would you like to be treated, but with the most melodramatic and tragic consequences. I was really sad when this finished, specially since I didn't understand most of the attitudes that came from one character, that while dissapointed it was still rather harsh and ruthless. The film is a wonder and it's a beauty to see this many advances in japanese cinema this early on. More to come, for sure.
