Three Outlaw Samurai: The Disloyal Bunch

Three Outlaw Samurai: The Disloyal Bunch by Bilge Ebiri. "...For nearly three decades, Hideo Gosha (1929–1992) made some of the most explosive, artful, and original films in Japanese cinema. Along the way, he also became one of his country’s most established and acclaimed filmmakers. But his reputation in the West has never been particularly prominent—surprising, perhaps, since so many of his films fit into those Japanese genres Americans and Europeans know so well, samurai and yakuza pictures."
