(aka "Yakuza no hakaba: Kuchinashi no hana" or "Yakuza Graveyard" or "Yakuza Burial: Jasmine Flower")
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku
Japan 1976
When he falls for the beautiful wife of the jailed boss of the Nishida gang, things start to spiral out of control for detective Kuroiwa (Tetsuya Watari, Graveyard of Honour). In a world where the line between police and organised crime is vague, he finds himself on the wrong side of a yakuza war when his superiors favour Nishida’s rivals, the Yamashiro gang. Co-starring the iconic Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood) and featuring Nagisa Oshima as chief of police, Yakuza Graveyard sees director Kinji Fukasaku (Battles without Honour and Humanity) at the peak of his powers. *** A police investigator cracks down on yakuza business, but once he realizes the police are in negotiations with certain factions, he sides with his own syndicate of choice. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Radiance Films use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original Japanese language. Yakuza Graveyard
has quite a few scenes with physical conflict - they carry a
hollowness that sounds accurate to my ears. Depth is modest depth. The
score was by Toshiaki Tsushima (Big
Time Gambling Boss,
Street
Mobster,
The
Green Slime,
The War in Space,
Three
Outlaw Samurai,
Sword of the Beast,
Battles Without Honor and Humanity) heightening tension in many
scenes. The lossless offers consistent dialogue sounding clean. Radiance Films offer optional English
subtitles on their Region FREE
Blu-ray.
The Radiance Films
Blu-ray
Kinji Fukasaku directed over 60 films and
his Yakuza Graveyard is one of many highlights. It deals with a
maverick cop taking on the Nishida gang... with fearless, uncorruptable,
abandon. It gets intense - dead bodies, prostitution, heavy drinking and
violent interactions... permeate the 1 1/2 hour ride. The American media
and entertainment company for youth culture, 'Complex', named Yakuza
Graveyard number 17 on their list of
The 25 Best Yakuza Movies. Fans will certainly appreciate Meiko
Kaji (Lady
Snowblood /
Female Prisoner Scorpion as well director of
In the Realm of the Senses, Nagisa Ôshima, makes a brief
appearance |
