NIGHT DRUM (1958) - REMASTERED

Yoru no tsuzumi - With elegant and dreamlike images, this unpretentious film evokes Japan's forgotten feudal world from the perspective of one Samurai household.

​18th Century Japan,
Hikokuro, vassal to the Lord of Tottori, returns home from the year’s enforced residence in Edo, he is troubl
e​
d by rumors that his wife, Otane, has committed adultery with a visiting drum teacher. Otane had been acquitted by a family council, but the truth relentlessly pursues Hikokuro, and leaves him with no alternative; Otane must die, the family must carry out an official vendetta.

The film, based on a Chikamatsu play derived from an actual incident, interprets and expands the original plot to stress the family's collusion with the system as a source, rather than a victim, of oppression.
