Mostle because the director is Nomura Yoshitarō, not Kurosawa Akira :)

Shame, can't find the 1974 original, only the adaptation and no subtitles frown

Then wait, the adaptation is "ok" but don't rush it, wait until you find the 1974 version. It may take years but is is so worth it.
Thank you for taking the time looking up one of the greatest movie ever made.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the movie. Can you get a sense of its general tone or style based on the following directors? I'm a bit picky when it comes to movies wink

Takashi Miike-so, more on the unusual and offbeat side?

Akira Kurosawa-more subdued, with long, static shots?

Takeshi Kitano-subdued, with dark humor and sudden bursts of violence?

Hot damn, you do know my favorite directors wink
Nomura turned Seichō Matsumoto's novel into something else (read it first, then watch the movie, then read it again)
Matsumoto supplies the intricate crime and its social wound; Nomura turns it into a vast, mournful investigation of identity, stigma, poverty, and postwar guilt even if some of .Matsumoto's elements are left off (the way ****** killls offf people).
