　松竹ヌーヴェル・ヴァーグ出身の吉田喜重監督が、大正のアナーキスト大杉栄が三角関係のもつれから刺された事件を取り上げ、大正時代と現代（昭和40年代）のそれぞれの風俗と人物たちを、時間軸と空間軸を交錯させ前衛的な手法で描いた愛と憎しみのドラマ。出演は細川俊之、岡田茉莉子。映画のモデルとなったひとりが、名誉毀損・プライバシー侵害を理由に、映画上映禁止の訴訟を起こしたことでも知られる。ちなみにこの時の請求は棄却されている。

Remake of Kurosawa's films Sanshiro Sugata and Sanshiro Sugata part 2. A young man, Sanshiro Sugata, troubled by personal problems, takes up judo. His teacher, Shogoro Yano, is a devout man who has aroused the enmity of the local practitioners of jujitsu, the older and more accepted of the two sports. Sugata uses his newly learned prowess to gain a measure of respect from others; however, Shogoro insists that the sport has a spiritual side, a lesson Sugata has yet to learn. Eventually, in hand-to-hand combat with the father of a young woman he loves, he comes to understand the true meaning of judo.
