Members $10 | Public $15
Based on the best-selling manga series, the intensely
kinetic Lone Wolf and Cub films, later adapted into Shogun Assassin,
elevated chanbara to bloody new heights. The shogun’s executioner (Tomisaburo
Wakayama), takes to wandering the countryside with his infant son, helping
those he encounters while seeking vengeance for his murdered wife. Delivering
stylish thrills and a body count that defies belief, Lone Wolf and Cub
is beloved for its brilliantly choreographed action sequences & its
depiction of the bonds between parent and child. (Japan,
1972, 83min., In Japanese with English subtitles, NR | Dir. Kenji Misumi)
