Somber screenplay writer Takeshi Kimura at his best. Probably the most sad and dramatic of all Toho sci-fi epics. Here, we have the title character, who is a librarian in his "real" life willing to go through all depths to please his lover, the Kabuki dancer, even if it means causing casualties and wreaking havoc. Caught in the mix is a policeman and a reporter, out to catch the rampaging "Vapor Man" before he causes any more harm. I usually prefer more light-heated pieces, like the works of writer Shinichi Sekizawa. Though this is a really dark film, which could use more lighter themes, it is good story-telling, and the end would astound you. A good thriller even by today's standards, and a suitable addition to any Toho movie fans.
