Tengoku to Jigoku (Heaven and Hell) is a 1963 Japanese drama and crime thriller from director Akira Kurosawa and starring Toshiro Mifune.  The film is best known by its English release title, High and Low (which is the one I will use for this review).  The film is a loose adaptation of the 1959 novel, King's Ransom, which was written by Evan Hunter (a pen name of the American crime and mystery fiction author, Ed McBain).  In High and Low, a Japanese businessman becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur's son is kidnapped by mistake and held for ransom.

High and Low introduces wealthy Japanese businessman and executive, Kingo Gondo (Toshiro Mifune), who lives in an elegant hilltop house with his wife, Reiko (Kyoko Kagawa).  He is currently engaged in a struggle to gain control of the company where he works, National Shoes.  The board of the company is split between executives seeking to make cheap and low-quality shoes and the “Old Man,” the company's largest shareholder who who wants sturdy but unfashionable shoes.  Gondo rejects both sides.  He has envisioned a strategy of requiring high production costs for long-term profitability by producing high-quality shoes.  Gondo has secretly set up a leveraged buyout to gain control of the company, mortgaging all his property for the money he will need for the buyout.

Just as he is about to put the plan into action, Gondo receives a phone call from someone claiming to have kidnapped his elementary school age son, Jun (Toshio Egi).  The kidnapper demands a ransom of 30 million yen, which Gondo is prepared to pay, but he soon dismisses the call as a prank when Jun returns home from playing outside.  However, Gondo learns that the kidnapper has mistakenly taken Shinichi (Masahiko Shimazu), the child of Gondo's chauffeur, Aoki (Yutaka Sada).

The kidnapper has realized his mistake, but he still wants the ransom.  Gondo is forced to make a decision whether to use his millions to complete the buyout of National Shoes or to pay the ransom to save Shinichi.  Meanwhile, the police arrive, led by Inspector Tokura (Tatsuya Nakadai), who becomes the chief investigator of the kidnapping case, and who is ably assisted by his partner, Chief Detective “Bos'n” Toguchi (Kenjiro Ishiyama).  Can the police discover the identity of the kidnapper before Gondo is forced to pay the ransom, which would lead to his financial ruin?

High and Low apparently was and still is a big influence on films belonging to the crime sub-genre known as the “police procedural,” which focuses on the investigative procedures of law enforcement officers and agencies with them also being the protagonists.  [This genre excludes private investigators (P.I.).]  High and Low has been remade and adapted into other films and has also influenced other films and televisions series.  It is currently the subject of a reinterpretation by director Spike Lee in his upcoming film, Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington.

High and Low are like two mini-movies joined into one longer feature film.  The first half of the film focuses on Toshiro Mifune's Kingo Gondo and his conflicts and struggles.  Most of the first half takes place in the living room of his home, with Gondo stalking the space like a caged lion or besieged king.  Akira Kurosawa constructs this part of the film like a stage drama, and here, he shows a remarkable sense of staging and in film blocking (facilitating performances in a film via the precise arrangement of the actors).  Kurosawa seems to be composing his action as if each moment is a painting.

The second half of the film fully embraces the police procedural.  Kurosawa moves Gondo a little to the side and the police's chase and hunt of the suspect kicks into high gear.  Lead by Inspector Tokura and Chief Detective “Bos'n” Toguchi, the police attack the case at every angle they can imagine.  They race across the region, working a series of clues involving geographical vistas, background sounds and noises, and a variety of locals connected to the street life and roads in and around the city.  I got the biggest kick out of watching this part of the film.  I followed the the lead investigators as they pound the pavement and as the young police officers chase the suspect, who wears one of the eeriest pairs of reflective sunglasses I have ever seen in film.  There is a trip into the underground lair of zombie-like heroin addicts that is as chilling as any found in a horror movies and as breathtaking as a jaunt through the most sumptuous set.

I loved the actors' performances which emphasize action, procedure, and personality more than narrow characterization.  As usual, I adore seeing Toshiro Mifune, especially when paired with the great director, Akira Kurosawa.  I have seen Kurosawa's great films, such as Rashomon (1950) and The Seven Samurai (1954), which also star Mifune.  I think High and Low should join these two films as being among the great Kurosawa's best works.

Red Sonja created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith

Red Sonja Noir: “The Crimson Calypso

Red Sonja is female high fantasy and sword and sorcery hero.  She first appeared in Conan the Barbarian #23 (cover dated February 1973) and was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith.  Red Sonja was loosely based on “Red Sonya of Rogatino,” a female character that appeared in the 1934 short story, “The Shadow of the Vulture,” written by Conan the Cimmerian's creator, Robert E. Howard.

In 2005, Dynamite Entertainment began publishing comic books featuring the character.  One of the recent titles is Red Sonja Noir One-Shot.  It is written by David Avallone; drawn by Edu Menna; colored by Adriano Augusto; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.  The one-shot finds Red Sonja dealing with a murdered partner and the hunt for a priceless artifact.

Red Sonja Noir One-Shot (“The Crimson Calypso”) is one of many stories of Red Sonja, but this one is not like many others.  Red Sonja, usually a lone wolf, has a partner, Tamsin, an archer.  Together, Sonja and Tamsin form the mercenary duo, “Blade and Archer.”

Now, they have a new client, Shauna.  She wants Sonja and Tamsin to help save her sister from the slaver, Zander Thor.  However, when Tamsin is found murdered, Sonja finds herself drawn into the feverish hunt for a priceless and mystical artifact known as “the Crimson Calypso.”

THE LOWDOWN:  In July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department began providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Red Sonja Noir One-Shot, which is one of several Dynamite Red Sonja comic books that I have read.

Red Sonja Noir One-Shot is the first long-form Red Sonja story written by David Avallone that I have read, though it is not my first Avallone Sonja.  I have previously praised Avallone for being an imaginative writer, and he shows that with this story.  However, “The Crimson Calypso” (a funny title and name) is more than just sword-and-sorcery hack-and-slash designed for our prurient interests.  Avallone gives the story an emotional angle; every character here, including Sonja, has skin in the game.  There is more to lose than to gain, and the stakes and desires seem very personal.

Artist Edu Menna is an underrated storyteller.  His art is certainly stylish, but emotional content and context run throughout, which makes him perfect for translating Avallone's comic mayhem and subtle flourishes into sometimes gripping and sometimes emotional comic book storytelling.  I would like to see Avallone and Menna run through a good twelve-issue stretch of Red Sonja.

Adriano Augusto's colors give the story a powerful punch; in fact, Augusto's coloring on the pages that depict death come at me like a punch.  As always, Jeff Eckleberry's classic-style lettering and effects bring the clashing of swords and sounds of battles and duels to life.

I expected Red Sonja Noir One-Shot to be good, but I must say I got more than I expected.  Encore! Encore!

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Red Sonja comic books will want to read Red Sonja Noir One-Shot.

Review: Shocking and Astonishing "BARBARIAN" Screams "Get Out!"

TRASH IN MY EYE No. 34 of 2025 (No. 2040) by Leroy Douresseaux

WRITER/DIRECTOR:  Zach Cregger
PRODUCERS:  Roy Lee, J.D. Lifshitz, Raphael Margules, and Arnon Milchan
CINEMATOGRAPHER:  Zach Kuperstein (D.o.P.)
EDITOR:  Joe Murphy

HORROR/THRILLER

Starring:  Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgard, Justin Long, Jaymes Butler, Matthew Patrick Davis, and Richard Brake

Barbarian is a 2022 American horror thriller film from writer-director Zach Cregger.  The film focuses on a woman who discovers that her Airbnb has not only been double-booked, but is also a house that has deep, dark secrets within it walls and foundation.

Barbarian introduces a young woman named Tess Marshall (Georgina Campbell).  She arrives at an Airbnb on 476 Barbary Street in a rough-looking neighborhood in Detroit.  It is the evening before a big job interview, and Tess is ready to relax in the home.  However, she finds the Airbnb has been double-booked and is already occupied by an odd young man named Keith M. Toshko (Bill Skarsgard).  Although, she is initially wary, Tess decides to take Keith up on his offer that they share the house, at least for the night while he sleeps on the couch.

Although she is unnerved by a peculiar incident during the night, Tess goes for her interview where her potential employer warns her about the neighborhood where she has the Airbnb.  Upon her return to 476 Barbary Street, a series of upsetting situations leads Tess deeper into the house where she discover the unbelievable – all the while not knowing that the house's supposed owner is heading her way.

I had planned on seeing Barbarian a long time ago, but had been putting it off.  Surprisingly, I pretty much ignored any articles about the film that I came across, and I don't really remember reading much about it on Twitter/X, which is where I often come across spoilers about films.  Thus, I am going to do you a similar favor, dear readers.  I will post a relatively short review about this film that will be scant on details.

Barbarian is the kind of film that benefits from a novel and unusual script, which is what writer-director Zach Cregger fashioned for this film.  However, what it really needs is strong directing, which it gets from Cregger, and also superb film editing, which the film definitely gets from editor Joe Murphy.  Barbarian also deals bluntly and cleverly with a familiar theme of horror films:  characters – especially female characters – not being more trusting of their intuition that something is wrong where they are and so they should “Get out!”

Barbarian also gets a number of fresh or unusual performances, especially from Georgina Campbell, who reminds me of recent Oscar-winner, Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez).  Campbell is a star in the making, as far as I'm concerned, and I hope to see more of her.

I think Barbarian is a treat that moviegoers who are dedicated to films will certainly want to see.  It is pure shock cinema, one of those visionary horror films that arrive to ignore the status quo and to also wreck expectations of what a horror film should be.  This is just what Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017) did five years before Barbarian was released.  Barbarian actually holds onto a number of mysteries, things that don't quite add up or make sense in its story.  That's okay because Barbarian is meant to unsettle the viewer before, during, and after the experience of watching it.
