Petite variation Angels Gut

Rei Akasaka a beau interpréter une dénommée Yû, son lien avec les Angels Gut est sans ambiguïté. Son passé (viol traumatisant et « primordial »), l’omniprésence du monde de Takashi Ishii : la ville, la nuit, la pluie, tout rappelle Nami, même le nom de famille du jeune garçon : Tsuchiya.

Katsuko Wakasugi in Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (Nobuo Nakagawa, 1959)

Cast: Shigeru Amachi, Katsuko Wakasugi, Shuntaro Emi, Ryuzaburo Nakamura, Noriko Kitazawa, Junko Ikeuchi, Kikuko Hanaoka, Hiroshi Hayashi, Jun Otomo, Shinjuro Asano. Screenplay: Masayoshi Onuki, Yoshihiro Ishikawa, based on a play by Nanboku Tsuruya. Cinematography: Tadashi Nishimoto. Production design: Harayasu Kurosawa. Film editing: Shin Nagata. Music: Michiaki Watanabe.

Keisuke Kinoshita's 1949 version of the much-adapted ghost story, Yotsuya Kaidan, jettisoned the supernatural in favor of the psychological, turning the protagonist, Iemon, into a somewhat more sympathetic, even tragic figure. But ten years later, Nobuo Nakagawa went straight for the horror: a bloodthirsty, ambitious Iemon (Shigeru Amachi), who doesn't even need Naosuke's (Shuntaro Emi) Iago-like promptings to descend straight into murder. In fact, if you try to apply psychology to Nakagawa's Iemon, you'll run up against some blank walls: It's hard to understand why Iemon in this version even bothers to settle down to a life of umbrella-making after his slaughter of Oiwa's father and his complicity in Naosuke's dispatch of Yomoshichi (Ryuzaburo Nakamura), his rival for Osode's (Noriko Kitazawa) hand. By this time, Iemon is steeped in blood so far that "returning were as tedious as go o'er," to put it in Macbeth's terms. In this version, the ghosts of Oiwa (Katsuko Wakasugi) and Takuetsu (Jun Otomo) are particularly real and vengeful, not just phantoms of Iemon's imagination, as in Kinoshita's version. They lead Iemon into slaughtering Ume (Junko Ikeuchi) and her father and finally to his own doom. Nakagawa's film lacks the subtlety of Kinoshita's, but in the end I think that's for the good: What you want from a ghost story is catharsis, not irony.
