Bakumatsu zankoku monogatari / Cruel Story Of The Shogunate's Downfall (1964)
IMDb /
Wild Realm Reviews /
some words some placesSynopsis: This film tells the brutal story of a young recruit to the Shinsengumi, the para-military force of ronin led by Kondo Isami, and made famous to the west in Sword of Doom. This is another view of that group without the usual whitewashing of their character. The full translation of the title tells it all. A Cruel Story set during the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It's a powerful indictment of the brutality going on in Japan at the time in the name of keeping the West out of the country.
| Quote: |
For the mid-60s this was one of the bloodiest & grimmest samurai films & quite critical of the militarism of the samurai class. It was a low budget product filmed under tight deadline, but clearly both director & screenwriter took the job seriously & did a vastly better job that was required for them to remain employed. -- Paghat the Ratgirl |

One of the best Shinsengumi tales, and a great chambara. Not quite a classic, but you can hardly find many better. -- some words some places |
