Fukushu suru wa ware ni ari


La vengeance est à moi - Shohei Imamura - Trailer
envoyé par k-chan. - Regardez des web séries et des films.

The film at Cinema Sture/(Cinemateket) was Shohei Imamura's
Vengeance is mine ('Hämnden är min'), a film about a massmurderer who kills people for no obvious reason.

Imamura doesn't try to explain anything concerning the murderer's behaviour.
He is not interested in discussing what is wrong and what is right. He leaves the moral aspects to the viewer.

In one scene, the murderer states that he has killed 'innocent' people but as we all know it's quite hard to decide whether someone is 'innocent' and if so in what sense.

It's obvious that many of the victims have a vast conscience and lead lives that are morally questionable. If this gives the main character the right to kill, that is also a question about moral and what moral you embrace.

It's an interesting film about guilt, genetic and social factors forming a person's life and the enigmatic question of the human nature as such.

I recommend it!
