"Eijanaika"
1981
Directed by Shohei Imamura
Called an
"historical documentary", Eijanaika is "a sprawling, superb-looking
period piece charged with Imamura's characteristically fevered eroticism and underplayed
black humor. As spectacle, it's stunning in its dynamism and the last half-hour presents
one of the most libidinal depictions of a mass uprising since Eisenstein restaged the
storming of the Winter Palace. As in Vengeance Is Mine, Imamura imbues the cruelty
with virtuoso ferocity and an appalling, visionary beauty" (J. Hoberman, Village
Voice). Japanese with English subtitles.
151 minutes.
