Sleepy Eyes 6
Nemuri Kyoshiro (as always Raizo Ichikawa) spoils the plan of some evil people to get control of their clan by saving a child. The nice thing: He feels committed to do so because he was so mean to the child's mother that she killed herself. Entertaining.
Sleepy Eyes 7
Chambara as samurai horror pulp fiction. Director Akira Inoue uses every weird camera angle and framing device known to mankind and eldritch beings to give the movie a feel of utter strangeness. A generous use of purposefully jarring transitions which would make Lucio Fulci proud and motives and themes like madness, masked masterminds, mechanical deathtraps, dead trees, betrayal and byzantine revenge plots means that this is the perfect movie for my tastes.
Darlings of the Day:
"Oh." (Pause) "And what is it that makes you desire me in particular?"
"Orin! Try throwing your shuriken at me! This woman's back will catch them nicely."
"For a villain like me, this is a very nice grave."
