Details of films that have been screened in the North-West of England.
Vengeance is Mine
Original title: Fukushuu Suru Wa Ware Ni Ari Director: Shouhei Imamura Release year: 1979 BBFC certificate 18 Running time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Unfolding through multiple flashbacks, Ken Ogata delivers a career-defining performance as ad ay-labourer and small time con-artist who, after killing two of his co-workers, embarks on a psychopathic spree of rape and murder. Eluding the police and public, Japan's infamous King of Criminals passes himself off as a Kyoto University professor, only to become entangled with an inn keeper and her perverted mother. Five years in the making, Vengeance Is Mine transcends the imitations of run-of-the-mill criminal studies by presenting a portrait of a killer imbued with a poignant, tragic banality.
