The Bad Sleep Well (1962)

The Bad Sleep Well (1962) – A. Kurosawa

Kurosawa disguises his reading of Hamlet in this tale of big business corruption that still feels modern 50 years later (given the undying ability for capitalism to promote greed). A bit overlong, perhaps, but the evil is both banal and chilling and Mifune is too nice to win in his quest for revenge.
