Hi there-
I wanted to let people know that I went to see Uchida’s A Bloody Speay at Mt. Fuji at the cinemateque recently and thought it was really great. If anyone is doing their essay on Samuri, post-war genre bender/breaker films, post-war loss of hierarchy systems or questions of heroism this film must be checked out (if you can get a copy!) It is really playful, yet in a very clever and subversively political way. Although it is getting late- if people are stumped on what to write on- this film could be inspiring….
