| Inhalt: |
A uniquely prolific and chameIeonic figure of world cinema, Kon Ichikawa deIivered a burst of stylistic bravado with this intricate tale of betrayaI and retribution. Set in the cIoistered worId of nineteenth-century kabuki theater, the film charts a femaIe impersonator s attempts to avenge the deaths of his parents, who were driven to insanity and suicide by a trio of corrupt men. lchikawa takes the conventions of melodrama and turns them on their head, bringing the hero s fractured psyche to life in boldly experimental widescreen compositions infused with kaleidoscopic coIor, pop-art influences, and meticulous choreography. Anchored by a magnificently androgynous performance by Kazuo Hasegawa, reprising a roIe he had pIayed on-screen three decades earlier, An Actor's Revenge is an eye-popping examination of how the iIlusions of art intersect with life.
