THE BAD SLEEP WELL (1960)

AKIRA KUROSAWA

Plot

A tense re-working of Hamlet, adapted from a novel by Ed McBain, is a biting exposé of the corruption and politics of greed at the heart of Japanese business. Beautifully photographed in ravishing black and white Tohoscope, this is the original Japanese version never before released in Europe.
