YesAsia Editorial Description
One of Miike Takashi's few period films, the 2002 film Sabu is another testament to the maverick filmmaker's versatile repertoire. A tame offering by Miike standards - though still boasting its fair share of blood - Sabu eschews the bombastic violence and twisted characters that some viewers may have come to expect from the director, and tells a compelling tale of friendship and betrayal in the Tokugawa era. Interestingly, Sabu is actually a television movie, but it was shot on proper film usually used for theatrical features, and boasts the A-list casting of Fujiwara Tatsuya (Death Note) and Tsumabuki Satoshi (Nada Sou Sou, Waterboys). With handsome art direction and costumes, steady camerawork, and a haunting score, the film is an effective and moody period piece that should appeal to a wide audience while still satisfying Miike aficionados.
Though poor, Eiji (Fujiwara Tatsuya) and Sabu (Tsumabuki Satoshi) don't have much to complain about, living out normal, honest lives as laborers in Tokugawa Japan. Eiji is framed for stealing, and exiled to an island prison camp. Thrown into a rough and brutal environment, he must fight each and everyday to survive. Life on the island slowly transforms him, and his only motivation for survival is revenge on those who brought him to this existence. Sabu tries everything he can to help free Eiji, but when the friends finally meet again, it is a completely different man that stands before Sabu.
