The reason I started this blog today = I saw this movie two days ago at the Walter Reade (NYC). Tonight I googled it to find out when it was made. It wasn't on IMDb. But I found this blog entry by a guy who clearly had been at the same show I was at :

On top of that, the guy follows his post with one relating Kiyoshi Kurosawa's work to Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, which I'm in the middle of reading. The coincidence made me happy and I love the guy's blog so I'll start one. (A less ambitious one.)
This blog's title is not my invention. It's Cinemaniac Jack's complaint about BAM. I hope he won't mind me using it.
So back to the movie.
I always like a Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie and this is no exception. It's an 80-minute movie with guns that forms a pair with "The Revenge : The Scar That Never Fades" (see following post). Sho Aikawa is cool as always. Beautiful sort-of-chase-and-gunfight in dense-ish vegetation.
Fans of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's other Sho-Aikawa-starring pair of movies with guns - "Serpent's Path" and "Eyes of the Spider" - may be happy to hear that "A Visit From Fate", too, has a lady with a cane.
