Revenge
The defence of one’s honour can drive a man insane!
Directed by Tadashi Imai
Produced by Toei Company
A dark, psychologically intense samurai tragedy about honor, madness, and the destructive spiral of revenge within a rigid feudal code.

Declared mentally unstable by the corrupt authority, Shinpachi begins his descent into true insanity…
