Blending traditional Japanese kabuki theatre with vibrant widescreen compositions and a gripping revenge plot, An Actor’s Revenge follows an onnagata—a male actor performing female roles—who uses stagecraft to dismantle his enemies as he avenges his parents' deaths. Overflowing with romanticism, stylised action, and a soundtrack ranging from traditional music to lounge jazz, this under-appreciated gem is a must-see. Filum screens 20th century non-English films from around the world. @filum.filmclub on Instagram.
