About Brutal Tales of Chivalry
After World War II, their town was a pile of rubble. Gennosuke, the second generation boss of the Kamizu Group was upholding yakuza chivalry by keeping black-market and illegal items out of their open-air market. Taking advantage of the mess, Iwasa and his gang take hold of goods from the US military, black-market and controlled items in order to become the most powerful group in Enko area.
Directed by Kiyoshi Saeki, Brutal Tales of Chivalry leans on a strong ensemble — Ken Takakura, Ryō Ikebe, Hiroki Matsukata — 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 action titles of 1965.
