Satsuo Yamamoto.

Always of great interest to me , the cinema of Director Satsuo Yamamoto. Independent intensely rebellious and socially conscious, Yamamoto's diverse range of film projects are permeated with his socialist politics. He created great dimension to his cinematic art, a profound layer of entertainment value.

Tengu-tô is an excellent multi layered drama film that fictitiously recounts the actual historical events of the Mito Tengu Group who attempted to overthrow the Shogunate during the Bakumatsu Period (1853-67 ) As an uncertain future looms, a time of social upheaval, brutalized peasant farmer Sentaro (Tatsuya Nakadai) meets an idealistic young samurai Genjirô (Go Kato). Sentaro is drawn into a conflicting & deadly power play, clash of political ideology...
