By A Man's Face Shall You Know Him (1966) Noboru Ando

By A Man's Face Shall You Know Him (Otoko no kao wa rirekisho, 1966)

Korealaiset gangsterit yrittävät ottaa vallan syrjäisellä saarella, eikä arpinaamainen toisen maailmansodan veteraani halua puuttua asiaan – kunnes rikollisten häikäilemättömyys ajaa hänet hirveään kostoon.

Leiskuvin värein kuvatun yakuza-leffan pääosassa Noboru Ando, joka pyöritti omaa rikosperhettään ennen kuin vankilatuomion jälkeen päätyi elokuva-alalle.

Brittijulkaisu enkkutekstein, katsottavissa kaikilla Suomessa myydyillä Blu-ray laitteilla. Takakannen kertomaa:

A community struggles against immigrant gangs in the ruins of postwar Tokyo. Only doctor Amamiya (real-life ex-yakuza Noboru Ando) can save them, but he had enough fighting in the war. His pacifism is severely tested by the gangs’ increasingly outrageous taunts and when his neighbours decide to take matters into their own hands, Amamiya is forced to take action. The consequences prove to be much more far-reaching than he could ever foresee. With a story spread across three time periods, Tai Kato’s ambitious revision of the yakuza movie was one of the first films to tackle the taboo subject of Japan’s Korean nationals, greatly influencing later directors such as Kinji Fukasaku and Takashi Miike.
