CONFLAGRATION(1958, KON ICHIKAWA)
Buddhist acolyte Raizo Ichikawa (Japan's James Dean in a change of pace character part), afflicted with a stutter and obsessed with beauty, is continually repelled by the corruption of the world — exemplified by his cynical club-footed friend Nakadai (“a bravura performance” – Dennis Washburn) — until he is finally impelled to destroy the thing he loves best. Adaptation of Yukio Mishima’s novel Temple of the Golden Pavillion, based on a real incident. Striking b&w Scope photography by the great Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon, Yojimbo) makes it a visual feast. Aka Enjo and Flame of Torment (!). Approx. 99 min.
7:45, 9:45
“This dignified, purposeful film is often touching as a case history of doomed innocence at bay. But its coils of compromise and corruption are even more credible and haunting in his exceptionally well-written role, Tatsuya Nakadai is splendid.”
– Howard Thompson, The New York Times
“Leaves the audience dangling exquisitely between understanding and outright horror.”
– Time Out (London)
“Ichikawa's use of theatrical lighting changes to mark the shifts in time is masterful, and the powerful yet delicately composed black-and-white 'Scope cinematography by Kazuo Miyagawa (who also shot Sansho the Bailiff) is reason enough to see this film.”
– Jonathan Rosenbaum
