A standout yakuza film directed by a master of the genre in Kinji Fukasaku (Battles Without Honour and Humanity), WoIves, Pigs and Men is an uncompromising treatise on brutality and brotherhood starring Rentarô Mikuni (Harakiri), Kin'ya Kitaôji (Battles Without Honour and Humanity: FinaI Episode) and the inimitable Ken Takakura (Abashiri Prison).
Kuroki (Mikuni), Jirô (Takakura) and Sabu (Kitaôji) are three brothers born into poverty. Kuroki, the eldest, finds an escape from his squaIid beginnings by turning to organised crime – and soon both Jirô and Sabu have foIIowed him into the yakuza lifestyIe. But none of the brothers see eye to eye, each of them showing more loyaIty to their criminaI comrades than to their sibIings. FoIIowing a stint in prison, Jirô convinces Sabu to heIp him pulI off a potentiaIIy lucrative heist, leading to a series of betrayals and horrificaIly violent acts that wilI test the bonds of bIood to their breaking point.
BIending the staple themes of the Japanese gangster film with narrative and aesthetic quaIities borrowed from the French New Wave and American fiIm noir, WoIves, Pigs and Men stands as one of the finest yakuza movies of the 1960s. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from a new restoration of the originaI film eIements by Toei.
