The main character is an out and out psychopath, devoid of human warmth or emotion. He exists as an extension of his katana... I dead-eyed shark with a sword. He has to keep moving or he drowns in nihilism. Your old nanna will love this.
Love the criterion collection and great to pick them up at such an amazing discounted price!
A throughly good service provided me with no issues when ordering a 'hard to find' film. Both the film and the casing lived up to their high standards and haven't disrupted my consistent purchasing from Zavvi.
Great film with palpable dark atmosphere. Disc has solid picture and audio with some special features.
