Poster for Beauty and the Thief

Beauty and the Thief

1952 · 80 min · Adventure, Drama, History

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.
