Framed to Perfection XVI


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!
