Vengeance Is Mine

As though VENGEANCE IS MINE is not a favorite of mine, I really appreciated the few fantastic scenes scattered in it like the final scene or the different apparitions of Iwao’s mother at improbable places. Now, I can perfectly understand that the film may be called a masterpiece by some critics or reviewers because Shohei Imamura is far from being an amateur at film making. I’m also sure that the film could be read from different perspectives. I just don’t feel like spending some more time to find the secret intentions of the director. It’s just the kind of movie I will have forgotten in a week. Good fiilm but far from being great.
