Em 1943, como o esforço de guerra japonês enfraquece, um vice-almirante propõe começar o treinamento de esquadrões de "pilotos voluntários" para abalroar com seus aviões armados os navios de guerra dos Aliados. Yarn segue a vida desses pilotos kamikaze, como relembrado pelo envelhecido restaurador Kyushu que preza a sua memória. Honra os mortos e inúmeros hinos militares pode agitar um pouco a alma do japonês, mas em outros lugares alguém vai fazer uma viagem só de ida. Cenas de batalha são bem realizadas e o roteiro traz algumas cenas memoráveis​​.

Taku Shinjo spins this rural drama about ancient taboos and encroaching modernity. Takamine (Gitan Otsuru) is a big-city workaholic sent to a small remote island to seal a business deal. His predecessor almost managed to convince the island's 17 inhabitants to sell their stake and make way for a resort hotel -- that is, before he died under dubious circumstances. Takamine finds the islanders polite and kind but unwilling to discuss business; instead, they tell him to become an islander. So the city-slicker stuffed shirt loses his tie and starts to help the women plant and the men fish. He soon makes his acquaintance with Takako (Mitsuko Baisho), the widowed daughter of the island's chief. She lives alone with her crazed son who is kept Jane Eyre-style chained to a stake. One moon-lit night, their mutual attraction boils over, resulting in a naked, passionate roll on the beach.

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.
