About Let Him Rest in Peace
This TV dramatization of Kitakata Kenzo's hard-boiled novel depicts a man who fights a deadly battle with a group of corrupt bosses who control the hot spring town. Sakaguchi, the owner of a long-established inn in a seaside hot spring town, rebels against the Shimoyama Tourism company that dominates the town, and is arrested by the police for a minor assault. One day, Sakaguchi's old best friend Shindo shows up and tells Sakaguchi's son that he will definitely get his father out of the police. (TV film adaptation of the novel, separate from the 1985 Yoichi Sai-directed film)
Directed by Yoshito Fukumoto, Let Him Rest in Peace leans on a strong ensemble — Tatsuya Nakadai, Rino Katase, Mayumi Wakamura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1989.
