Japanese Film Showcase

Three films spanning nearly a century of Japanese cinema, united by their sharp, idiosyncratic visions of human nature. Imamura Shōhei's Vengeance Is Mine dissects a real-life serial killer with cold, unflinching precision; Yamanaka Sadao's Tange Sazen and the Pot Worth a Million Ryo spins a warm, humanist comedy around a one-eyed, one-armed ronin and an unassuming pot hiding a fortune; and Igarashi Kōhei's Super Happy Forever quietly traces a grieving return.
