THE LIFE OF A HORSE TRADER (w/Toshiro Mifune)
THE LIFE OF A HORSE TRADER
(Bakuro ichidai)
This early gem starring the great Mifune Toshiro tells the tale of Katayama Yonetaro, aka "The Shark, " a rough and tumble horse trader in Japan's rugged northernmost territory of Hokkaldo. Always ready to drink, fight, gamble and chase women he falls victim to a crooked game with loaded dice. As he and his fellow gamblers break into a free-for-all, they are interrupted by the news that his wife has taken ill and may be dying at the moment. This little-known film captures the wild ways of early Japan after the fall of the shogunate when men had only their own strength and skills to rely on. A brilliant, yet tragic tale that can now be told!
