  Trailer | CONFLAGRATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
A young novice named Mizoguchi (Raizo Ichikawa), whose social growth has been marred by his stutter, is apprenticed to the priest of a temple that the boy has always looked on as the fragile embodiment of untainted beauty.
Ichikawa’s main alteration in the source material is structural: he adds a frame, so that the movie begins with the aftermath of a fire in the temple (the climax of the novel) for which the police hold Mizoguchi responsible.
Mishima is the master of repression, and Ichikawa treads exquisitely on his territory, where chastity and perversity are opposite sides of the same coin, and where conflagration can connote, simultaneously, the white flames of purification and the red flames of unanswered erotic desire.

 Kon Ichikawa
Using landscape as a metaphor for the isolation and suffering of the soul, Kon Ichikawa contrasts the chaotic, harsh realities of war with the tranquil expanse of nature: the mountain fortress attack; the discovery of a body leaning against a tree in the jungle; the mass burial of soldiers along the shoreline.
In contrast to the noble ideal of patriotic duty, Ichikawa presents the act of killing as a manifestation of base and primal behavior: envy, revenge, self-defense, and in the end, cannibalism.
Ichikawa's recurrent fragmentation of images reflect the voyeuristic relationship between spectator and performer: obscured, extended fight scenes witnessed from rooftops, seamless visual transitions between theatrical dramatization and off-stage, real-life events, framing of actors through doorways or other visual occlusions that seem to underscore the intrusive, keyhole perspective of the audience.

 MoMA | Press | Releases | 2001 | KON ICHIKAWA
Ichikawa, the last surviving member of the great quartet of Japanese directors, may be less known to Westerners than Akira Kurosawa, Kenji Mizoguchi, and Yasujiro Ozu, but his formal and thematic experiments are no less daring or influential.
Ichikawa's probing camera reveals human nature as both poignantly fallible and vainly self-serving, and his film ends on an even more devastatingly comical note than the Tanizaki novel on which it was based.
Ichikawa captures the novel's dry, haughty tone and its surface whimsy and underlying nastiness, pricking the pretensions and mannerisms of the Meiji nouveau riche with their puffed-up intellectual snobbery and faddish infatuation with Occidental culture.

 Kon Ichikawa
Ichikawa's sceptical attitude to his country's traditions and institutions ties in with another recurrent theme of his work: his interest in the young, and in the gulfs between the generations.
Ichikawa himself remarked that he “did not think the Golden Pavilion so great or beautiful a structure,” and argued that “the presence of this great structure does not secure the well-being of human beings around it, or make them happy” (5).
In the hands of Ichikawa, such conservatism seems a little incongruous; his best films, despite the tighter restrictions on filmmakers at the period of their production, were willing to deal with most aspects of life, and are as unembarrassed by sex as they are unexcited by violence.

 Midnight Eye review: An Actor's Revenge (1962, Kon ICHIKAWA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The story has it that Ichikawa was assigned this project by Daiei as a punishment for the studio's lack of satisfaction with his previous three productions, Conflagration (Enjo, 1958), Bonchi (1960) and The Outcast (Hakai, 1962).
Sensibly Ichikawa, using a script adapted from the original by his wife and constant collaborator up until the mid-60s, Natto Wada (pen name for Yumiko Ichikawa), doesn't even try.
It is the painterly way in which Ichikawa handles the dimensions of the widescreen Cinemascope format that will no doubt form the most lingering impression on most viewers.

 The Outcast (Hakai/aka The Broken Commandment/The Sin) Film Review - Time Out Film
The protagonist, Raizo Ichikawa, refuses to accept his lot in life, and, bound by his father's dying wish that he conceal his lowly beginnings, takes a job as a teacher in a regular school.
Dedicated performances and Wada's lucid screenplay are the load-bearing beams, as it were, but Ichikawa's expressive imagery makes the difference between worthy social drama and a close to unforgettable piece of cinema.
To begin, a doomed fl bull with a tear in its eye exemplifying dignity in the face of overwhelming odds; to close, a blanket of snow on the film's final act obliterating the landscape of memory.

 An Actor's Revenge
From the onset, Ichikawa's irreverent and sardonic humor would define the infectiously playful, yet stylistically audacious and self-assured tone of the film's eccentric fusion of high-brow art and pop culture kitsch.
Ichikawa also incorporates episodes of characterizational duality into the film that serve as both comedy relief and directed allegory.
Ichikawa's recurrent fragmentation of images innately reflects the voyeuristic relationship between spectator and performer: obscured, extended fight scenes witnessed from rooftops, seamless visual transitions between theatrical dramatization and stylized, 'real-life' off-stage episodes, the framing of actors through doorways or other visual occlusions that seem to underscore the intrusive, key-hole perspective of the audience.

Director Kenji Mizoguchi chose to eschew social commentary in this film, focusing instead on a young samurai's struggle for self-knowledge, set against the backdrop of civil strife in 12th-century Japan.
The film stars Raizô Ichikawa as Kiyomori, a samurai fighting to suppress an army of monks who are rebelling against the country's ruling cabal, which has threatened to appropriate their land.
But when he and his father, Tadamori (Ichirô Oya), return from battle victorious, the cabal offends the honor of the Taira clan by refusing to acknowledge their help, a humiliation especially to Kiyomori.
