About Account of the Ando Gang: Tale of a Scarface
“Gunro no keifu” is known as “Tale of a Scarface.” It follows the life of Kumoro, a yakuza member, who recently is released from prison after serving 14 years for his Family. Upon his return he finds the various yakuza syndicates on the brink of war. Kumoro is, at first, removed from the dealings of the families by his Boss, but slowly he is drawn back into his old ways.
Directed by Eiichi Kudō, Account of the Ando Gang: Tale of a Scarface leans on a strong ensemble — Kiyoshi Nakajo, Ken Kaneko, Noriko Hamada — 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 1997.
