Product Information
導演：野村芳太郎
Director: Nomura Yoshitaro
一名慷慨仁慈、受人愛戴的老警員在東京火車站被人謀殺，奉命調查的兩名探員完全找不到任何動機線索，但在他們鍥而不捨的追查下，卻揭開了一段涉及一位聲譽漸隆的年輕作曲家的神秘身世。
《砂之器》是七十年代日本推理電影熱潮中最受歡迎的作品，松本清張的原著早已膾炙人口，野村芳太郎和山田洋次的改編更上一層樓。影片結合了奇情、人情、懸疑和驚悚片多種元素，當年在港上映時也打破了日本電影的票房記錄，但卻因放映場次問題而遭嚴重刪剪，現在這個版本是長143分鐘的原裝日版，當可盡窺全豹。
Two detectives are assigned to investigate the murder of a 60-year-old policeman at the Tokyo Railway Station. The victim is well-liked and benevolent and there does not seem to be any motivation to the murder. A further investigation finally leads to the discovery of the hidden past of a young rising composer.
The original novel by Matsumoto Seicho on which the film is based has been a bestseller in Japan. The adaptation by Yamada Yoji (of the Tora-san series fame) and director Nomura Toshitaro skillfully incorporates the elements of melodrama, suspense and thriller to form a tightly structured human drama about someone who attempts to escape from his past but fails.

Skillful tale of detection
|
"The Castle of Sand" is a beautifully orchestrated story of two Tokyo police detectives doggedly following up every lead in their ceaseless efforts to solve a seemingly unsolveable murder mystery. The film was crisply written by the great Yamada Yoji and smoothly directed by Nomura Yoshitaru. It is a testimony to director Nomura's reputation that he was able to get a number of major actors to play small roles in this film. The film runs for 2 hours and 22 minutes, but my interest never flagged as I followed the meticulous detailing of this story's complicated plot. I particularly enjoyed the panoramic view of Japanese society we get as the investigators criss-cross the country in pursuit of clues. The story has a satisfying and logical conclusion that is presented in a masterful way here. I can recommend this film very highly for all fans of murder mysteries. By the way, the Matsumoto Seicho novel upon which this film is based is available in a good English translation from the excellent Soho Crime series under the title, "Inspector Imanishi Investigates". |
