Film Synopsis
A border police officer is offered the promotion he has long coveted in return
for performing one special mission - to escort a delinquent to Kabul.
What could be simpler? Luck is, however, not on our intrepid hero's
side and when the plane in which he escorting his captive develops technical
problems he is forced to break his journey at Malta. The cop checks
into a hotel, where he handcuffs his prisoner to a radiator so that he can
get a good night's sleep. Fatal mistake. Of course the prisoner
manages to escape and, to ensure his dreams of promotion do not go up in
smoke, the cop must go after him. The manhunt is underway!
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
