PLOT SUMMARY
One of the most often filmed stories is that of of
Japan's greatest novel "The Great Bodhissatva Pass",
which tells the story of Tsukue Ryunosuke, a master
swordsman with an evil style, reflecting the evil in
his heart. His ruthless ways and merciless killings
leave behind an unsettled past which eventually
catches up to him. Reprising his role as Ryunosuke
from an earlier version of the story, Kataoka Chiezo
shows why he was such a huge movie star. He expertly
portrays the slightly sad, and sometimes mad
swordsman, pursued by the youthful Hyoma (Nakamura
Kinnosuke), who is bent on revenge for the slaying
of his older brother. This film is the first of a
trilogy, but goes further than the other versions,
not stopping with the fire at the Inn, but going
well on into the next chapter of the story. Learn
what happened to Ryunosuke after the night of blood
and flames.
