Description
[Machine Translation] Following on the heels of "Shakespeare in Tempo 12" by Hisashi Inoue, Yukio Ninagawa, and Ryudo Uzaki, comes the second production of the same name! The most talked-about play of 2007 is now available on DVD! The cast includes Arata Furuta as Sugi no Ichi (later to become the second Yabuhara inspector), Yasunori Danta as Hanawa Hokiichi, Yuko Tanaka as Oichi, who kills her own husband out of love for Sugi no Ichi, and Haruhiko Yodo as the blind tayu who tells the tale. Naomasa Rokudaira as Sakuma, Masayo Umezawa as Oshiho, Sugi no Ichi's mother, Ryuji Yamamoto as Yabuhara, Yoji Matsuda as Sadanobu Matsudaira, Kyoko Jimbo as a widow who is extorted, Hitomi Kageyama as her daughter, and Ikuhiro Akasaki as a guitar player. The cast is unique and full of charm, making this one of the most talked-about films of the year! Sugi no Ichi, born blind with a fateful destiny, goes to great lengths in his evil deeds in order to win the favor of the sighted people. On the other hand, Hanawa Hokiichi tells the blind man that the only way to stand on equal footing with the clear-eyed is to hone his intellect and character. The story is full of cruel humor and satire, told by the narrator, a blind man.
