Takanobu Kakimoto, an important businessman, is murdered in his living room. Akira Kido, a young prosecutor, is appointed the case and promised a promotion to the Tokyo District Court if he succeeds in having the suspect found guilty. But Kido discovers the lawsuit is more complicated than expected.
Dialing up the suspense of the whodunit genre to dizzying levels of baroqueness, Yasuzô Masumura’s chilling crime film invokes the deadly allure of money. Shot like an ornate maze with its canted angles and harsh geometries, a courtroom sets the stage for a taut battle between deception and justice.
