About The Bullet and the Horse
A number of recently released prisoners become involved in a racket with a rancher who is a rival to a neighboring landowner and wants to use the convicts to seize his ranch. The rancher does not know, however, that he had years before killed the parents of one of their number.
Directed by Teruo Ishii, The Bullet and the Horse leans on a strong ensemble — Ken Takakura, Kanjūrō Arashi, Kunie Tanaka — 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 crime titles of 1966.
