Film Synopsis
Zerbini has ambitions of becoming the owner of the biggest casino in the
popular seaside town of Deauville, but to achieve this he must convince his
rival Cervoise to sell his hotel to him. Unfortunately, Cervoise is
in no hurry to sell up, so Zerbini is forced to resort to skulduggery to
achieve his aims. He intends bribing the manager of Cervoise's hotel
to drive away all of his customers. By this ruse, the hotel is sure
to go bust and the cunning Zerbini can then step in to buy it for a fraction
of its real commercial value. The plan appears to work at first but
after one load of disgruntled hotel patrons have gone on their way, another
load turns up to replace them, apparently attracted to the hotel by the abusive
service they receive...
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
