Com base em registros políciais e no premiado livro escrito por Ryuzo Saki, este filme relata a terrível onda de crimes de Iwao Enokizu, um homem vazio sem "kokoro", que significa em japonês, tanto "eu" como "coração". O funcionário insatisfeito, Enokizu mata várias pessos, sem qualquer razão e consegue escapar da polícia, mesmo com seu rosto celebrizado em todo país. Mas, seu pai e sua esposa, que sabem do seu segredo, tentam viver tranquilos. Depois de realizar vários documentários, insatisfeito com as limitações da forma narrativa, Shohei Imamura criou este filme. Aparentemente, um drama policial simples, Minha Vingança incorpora vários toques surrealistas, incluindo um final em que a "lei da gravidade" é esquecida.
