It is hard to convey in simple language the moving qualities of this lovely film, which, among other things, was the winner of the grand prize at the Cannes film festival last spring.

The film's delicately choreographed battles, its use of texture and color, and its grace of movement and composition mark it as one of those rare Japanese films that survive despite overinterpretation.

It's a visually rich movie, but in retrospect rather slight in the canon of Japanese filmmaking.

Gate of Hell (and back)
Movie Lover: Lewis Howell from
SANTA MARIA, CA US -- December, 1, 2014
This is a great film for anyone (1) interested in Japanese films, (2) interested in foreign cultures generally, and (3) just exploring. One has to be open to cultural bias in understanding the motivations in the original story, and it helps to have some understanding of the historical incident that frames the story. But the quality of the the direction by Teinosuke Kinugasa, a contemporary of Akira Kurosawa, makes it a classic that anyone could profit from.
