Beauty and the Thief (1952)

Directed by Keigo Kimura

Adventure, Drama, History · 1h 20m

The picture belongs to the jidai gekki (historic) genre. It is a powerful story of violence and eroticism, picturing a world at once sordid and poetic, with two central themes which intermingle to compound an admirable panel of a critical period in Japanese history: the great famine in the mid 19th Century.
