A combination that I never knew I wanted

A combination that I never knew I wanted - 19th century kabuki theater, theatrical staging, vivid and well-designed cinematography, and a jazzy saxophone soundtrack. An Actor's Revenge brings together stunning visuals, unconventional use of sound and color, and traditional stage drama; melodramatic tones freely mix with a timeless 'double-edged revenge' storyline that feels like it emerged from a well-loved library. At times, the performances freely spill into 'over-the-top' territory, but that is part of Ichikawa's intent, blurring the line between film and theater, in this case letting the exuberant tones and bright colors of kabuki drip into drama. The film is entirely unique, and it's difficult to describe the particular brand of appeal it provides, but even those that will not enjoy the film's story will surely be impressed by the sheer degree of technical competence that went into its production. Taken alongside The Burmese Harp and Tokyo Olympiad, An Actor's Revenge demonstrates a fluidity and range for the director that few can claim to have matched; the most impressive thing about Ichikawa is not any one film that demonstrates his competence and vision, but the incredible diversity of his output and the consistent quality he puts into his films regardless of style or subject. (4/5)

The usual English title is from a line

The usual English title is from a line of dialogue when the character Yamitarō, having learned that Yukinojō proposes to take revenge on his enemies by elaborate plots rather than killing them at the first opportunity, says to himself "As you might expect of an actor's revenge, it's going to be a flamboyant performance" (Yakusha no katakiuchi dakeatte, kotta mon da: 役者の敵討ちだけあって、こったもんだ).
