THE BLACK REPORT
YASUZÔ MASUMURA Japão, 1963
Dialing up the suspense of the whodunit genre to dizzying levels of baroqueness, Yasuzô Masumura’s chilling crime film invokes the deadly allure of money. Shot like an ornate maze with its canted angles and harsh geometries, a courtroom sets the stage for a taut battle between deception and justice.
