Criterion Collection - Vengeance Is Mine/bd - Blu-ray

A thief, a murderer, and a charming lady-killer, Iwao Enokizu (MISHIMA's Ken Ogata) is on the run from the police. Director Shohei Imamura (THE PORNOGRAPHERS) turns this fact-based story-about the seventy-eight-day killing spree of a remorseless man from a devoutly Catholic family-into a cold, perverse, and at times diabolically funny examination of the primitive coexisting with the modern. More than just a true crime tale, VENGEANCE IS MINE bares humanity's snarling id.
