Scar Yosaburo will be shown at Japan Society on Saturday, March 20th, 2010 at 7:00 PM. The screening is part of the Monthly Classic Series The Double Edged Sword: The Chambara Films of Shintato Katsu & Raizo Ichikawa. No screener was available and I have other plans for that evening, so I'll just pass on this information:
In Scar Yosaburo, a band of yakuza ruffians mutilate the face of an actor after he is caught with the gang boss’s mistress. A misty, moonlit tale from the Kabuki repertoire and a stirring classic of the most artful category of samurai films, zankoku jidai-geki ("cruel historicals").
