KOZURE OKAMI OYA NO KOKORO KO NO KOKORO (1972)
Director: Buichi Saitô
Cinematographer: Kazuo Miyagawa
A dark confrontation that ends with everybody involved, except for our titular Lone Wolf and Cub, dying horribly.
But that should really be no surprise at this point.
I selected this shot due to, what I assume to be, a nice matte insertion of mist and flora on the far right. I heard the proper term for the technique of having foreground and background elements in focus at the same time, but sadly I failed to make a note of it.
While overall a lesser entry in the series, this fourth instalment has some of the most striking filmmaking.
The hateful heatwave persists, here in usually-drab Sheffield, so I’m feeling truly miserable indeed.
That is all.
Do stay in touch, darlings.
Toodles!
