Directed and shot with some style, this is a rather lovely tragic drama involving a quartet of characters.
Very Japanese in it's thrust and preoccupations this well told tale pleases and surprises as it unfolds ever unpredictably.
There is much talk of love and betrayal, forgiveness and of course suicide.
The scenes involving the taking of the powders from the bright red squares of paper are astonishing.
Ever beautiful with effective music this not overlong classic of 60's Japanese cinema is a real treat.
