Jigokumon (1953)


A samurai film directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa.
One samurai wants another's wife and will do anything to get her.
This film seemed very westernized. The soundtrack was mostly orchestral and it was in color. As I listened to the few traditional Japanese pieces of music, I was reminded of really horrible guitar playing. It sounded like they got a beginner with a guitar that was out of tune to record tracks. The plot was straight forward without many twists and the characters were very static. I'm rating this o.k. because it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.
