SCANDALOUS ADVENTURES OF BURAIKAN (1970) - REMASTERED
Buraikan - Set during the "Tempo Reform" period of Mizuno Tadakuni (1793-1851). Lord Mizuno was an extreme moralist and tried to outlaw more or less anything pleasurable.
His reasoning was that things like staged plays, posters of actors, popular novels, expensive meals, cakes, dolls, paintings, etc... were wastes of the country's resources and contributed to the decline of the national moral fiber.

A sexy, darkly humorous look at Tokyo's red-light Edo district in 1842, focusing on three characters whose lives intersect. Soshun is the infamous fugitive Buraikan in disguise, Naojiro is a shiftless lout who dreams of being a Kabuki performer, and Ushimatsu has just left his family.
Testsuro Tamba is outstanding as the "lone wolf" Buraikan - a kind of good-hearted, if ruthless and highly clever monk. Tatsuya Nakadai is also funny, eerie and compelling as the handsome, never-do-well, lazy fortune teller. The movie has everything: multiple, well-developed, interwoven story lines and well developed individual characters.
