The Cameraman's Revenge

Die Letzte Rache narrates the eventful tale of Worldly-Wise, an adventurer who enters the service of an aging ruler in order to seek a successor. Unable to find a worthy heir, Worldly-Wise succumbs to the temptation to seize power himself.

This wildly melodramatic tale of a kabuki female impersonator who exacts a long-delayed revenge on the men who drove his parents to suicide is played out against a backdrop of comic rivalries between thieves in the Tokyo underworld. Kazuo Hasegawa plays the dual role of the actor and the thief in a film which celebrates his 300th screen appearance. A heady mixture of swooning romanticism and stylised action, with a soundtrack that ranges from traditional Japanese music to lush Hollywood strings and cocktail jazz, An Actor's Revenge is a cinematic tour de force.

A young woman (Meiko Kaji), trained from childhood as an assassin and hell-bent on revenge for the murders of her father and brother and the rape of her mother, hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Japan. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita’s pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant widescreen composition after another. The first Lady Snowblood was a major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill saga, and both of Fujita’s films remain cornerstones of Asian action cinema.

Can murder be justified if it is done out of love? Dark and moody serial killer film with a perspective from the killers’ side of the story, Revenge: A Love Story is at times bloody, and at other times, touching and romantic. Police are investigating a serial killer who targets pregnant women and the media have labeled him ‘The Dissector’ and run sensationalist headlines such as: "Pregnant woman dissected alive, husband put to death in 100 degree of boiling water". At the scene of yet another such murder, and led by undercover detectives Jeff and Kwok Wah (Ching Siu Ho, Tony Ho) they comb the area and find a known suspect, Chan Kit, and bring him in. Chan Kit remains silent throughout the brutally physical interrogation and is released without charge. If Chan Kit is not the killer, then who is? The story unfolds step by step, jumping with flashbacks as to how Chan Kit is linked to the group of undercover policeman in the first place and the pain he has silently endured; this is a story about unconditional love.
