The Bad Sleep Well (Japan, 1960)

In Kurosawa's HAMLET-like story of corporate scandal in post-war Japan, a young man attempts to use his position at the heart of a corrupt company to expose the men responsible for his father's death.

A revenge drama set in post-war corporate Japan, signed by Akira Kurosawa. The director wanted to make 'a movie with some social significance', so he chose the culture of corruption as the films enemy because he thought that was the worst crime there is.

Genre: Crime/Drama/Thriller
