Intimidation
1960 · 1h 5m · N/A
Crime, Drama, Thriller
Directed by
Koreyoshi Kurahara
Overview
Koreyoshi Kurahara's ingeniously plotted, pocket-size noir concerns the intertwined fates of a desperate bank manager, blackmailed for book-cooking, and his resentful but timid underling, passed over for a promotion. The marvelously moody Intimidation is an elegantly stripped-down and carefully paced crime drama.
