During the Heian period, whilst travelling through deep forest young samurai Takehiro and his wife Masako are waylaid by a robber. Takehiro is tied to a tree and forced to watch his wife being raped in front of his very eyes. But there are other witnesses to the crime lurking in the bushes too. A surprisingly poetic rendition of "In The Thicket", the Ryunosuke Akutagawa short story that former the basis of Kurosawa's Rashomon, here directed by none other than the notorious Hisayasu Satô (The Bedroom, Naked Blood), one of the legendary "Four Devils" of the early 90s pink film.

In a Thicket

In a Thicket (1996)
Sato's re-imagining of In a Grove, on which Rashomon was based. In this version, instead of a web of lies and agendas, we get a web of desires, perversions like incest, and occult phenomenon like an oracle-demon, hallucinations, and human sacrifice. Once again, the story starts with a detective trying to unravel the story of a man and a woman encountering a bandit-rapist in the woods, but the real story keeps turning out to be unfathomable as layer upon layer of strange motives and events keep turning up.

These fine performances constitute the only complete cycle currently available of the 17 string quartets that pepper Villa-Lobos' entire career. The suite-like, five-movement No. 1, with its adorable "like a jumping bean" finale, is deceptive. Most of these are resoundingly neo-classical works full of acerbic harmonies and typically busy counterpoint, with few overtly nationalistic elements. Of course they sound just like Villa-Lobos, who was himself something of a "nationalistic element" when you come right down to it. The series reaches its culmination in the large works composed around the time of the Second World War, Nos. 7-11, which really do constitute landmark 20th century contributions to the form on a par with those of Shostakovich and Bartók.
