繼《開心地走吧》後三年，小津再次以黑幫為電影題材，將黑幫類型玩得出神入化，視覺上充滿黑色電影的風格，後段更出現小津電影中少見的持槍要脅，槍劫及逃亡等情節。故事講述時子的男友襄二是個黑社會大佬，可是襄二卻愛上自己手下的姊姊和子，時子發現之後，原想將和子嚇退，但在與和子相見後也被她的善良打動，便決定和襄二一同改過自身，結局一場劇面緊張，扣人心弦。片中人物感情比前作更複雜悲情，畫面安排盡見心思。田中絹代一反形象飾演壞女人角色，卻因《伊豆舞孃》的深入民心而未被當時的觀眾受落。
Ozu followers might find it difficult to believe, but this suspenseful and emotionally powerful gangster thriller is one of the high points in Ozu's oeuvre in the silent era. Shot with stylistic flourishes such as tracking shots and sweeping chiaroscuro, Ozu has made a moody expressionist potboiler in the noir tradition a la Sternberg. Like "Walk Cheerfully", Ozu's earlier gangster film, a one-time champion boxer turned small-time ringleader finds himself moodily torn between the affections of a vamp and an innocent maiden. The climactic sequence (involving the single gunshot fired in the entire existing Ozu canon) is as powerful as any silent film you'll ever see.

Exciting silent yakuza drama
|
"Dragnet Girl" is a spellbinding yakuza melodrama from master director Ozu Yasujiro. Tanaka Kinuyo delivers a nicely nuanced performance as Tokiko, a young woman leading a double life as an office typist by day and a gangster's moll by night. She loves Joji, an ex-boxing champ turned mid-level thug played by Oka Joji, who absolutely smolders throughout the film. High school hooligan Hiroshi (Mitsui Hideo) idolizes Joji and wants to join his gang. Hiroshi's sister, the sweetly innocent Kazuko (Mizukubo Sumiko) urges Joji to discourage Hiroshi from pursuing the yakuza life. Joji is smitten by Kazuko's unassuming beauty and inate goodness. Tokiko then fights to keep Joji's affections, but Tokiko too is affected by Kazuko's infectious innocence. Tokiko then urges Joji to go straight so they can start over and settle down in domestic bliss. The film reaches its culmination when Hiroshi asks Joji for money. Hiroshi has stolen money from his sister's employer and now can't pay it back. In order to bail out Hiroshi and Kazuko, Joji and Tokiko decide to pull off one more crime -- they will rob the money Hiroshi needs from Tokiko's employer's son, a spoiled young man who has been showering Tokiko with gifts and unwanted attention. Can Joji and Tokiko succeed in this last crime and get on with a new life? "Dragnet Girl" is a beautifully conceived, involving, and exciting story. This silent classic is truly silent; its musical soundtrack has been lost. Many of the characteristics of Ozu's visual style already are present in this feature. I particularly liked Ozu's use of yarn as a visual metaphor for the entanglements of love and domesticity. The image quality of this DVD is top-notch. I recommend this film very, very highly for all Ozu fans. |
