Product Information

主演:緒形拳╱三國連太郎╱倍賞美津子
Cast: Ogate Ken/ Mikuni Rentaro/ Baisho Mitsuko
導演:今村昌平
Director: Imamura Shohei

  今村昌平成名於六十年代,但在六十年代末期日本電影開始衰落時,拍攝了一系列的紀錄片。《我要復仇》是他蟄伏六年後的作品,也是他最富爭議性的電影。影片改編自一件真人真事的連環兇殺案。案件中的罪犯榎津巖(緒形拳)自青少年時期己經常入獄,長大後更多次用假冒的身份行騙及劫殺。今村昌平用了鉅細無遺及極其冷靜的手法,記錄著榎津巖的犯罪過程,但卻完全拒絕解釋他的犯罪心理。

  影片雖然交代了榎津小時候目睹父親(三國連太郎)被軍隊毒打的情形,又細緻描寫了他在服刑期時其父與妻子發生了一段不倫之戀,但卻沒有進一步暗示這兩件事與榎津的行兇動機有任何關係,迴避了簡化的心理分析。影片成績蜚然,為今村三年後在康城勇奪金棕櫚大獎奠下了基礎。

  Imamura Shohei's chilling portrait was voted the best Japanese film of the decade by critics in both Los Angles and New York. Based on a true story and a prize-winning novel, this is an icily precise account of a killer who abandons his devout Catholic family and his faith to go on a 78-day spree of murder and mayhem. The unnerving objectivity with which Imamura tells the story, combined with the film's formal beauty and precision and its refusal to explain or condemn, produces a devastating effect. "Inside of this man. could there be nothing but hollowness? I think I can see the forlorn inner soul of today's man." (Imamura)

Shocking tale of serial killer Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Imamura Shohei's "Vengeance is Mine" stands out for its cold-blooded, matter of fact depiction of a psychopathic serial killer. Ogata Ken delivers a frighteningly realistic performance as the calculating killer. Ogata gets deep inside his character to find both the charm that lures people into the killer's world and the inhuman cruelty by which he then exterminates them.

"Vengeance is Mine", however, is more than just a great performance by Ogata Ken. What really sets it apart is the depiction of the people (particularly the women) who are drawn into the killer's life like moths to a flame. By spending so much time on these other characters, the film is much more than just a story of a killer; it makes a statement about the desires and dreads that lie within all of our hearts.

"Vengeance is Mine" is not easy viewing, but it is an important film. I recommend it very highly for a mature audience. To see Ogata Ken in an equally great role (but one that provides a terrific contrast to his role in this film), I also recommend that you check out "The Demon".
