Shimizu Port of Chivalry
An all-star ensemble anchors this Jidai-Geki classic, set in the samurai era as a portrait of period Yakuza life. This revered entry stands among the genre’s real landmarks. In a dramatized study of the legendary gambling boss Jirocho, a benevolent and upright boss vows to avenge a fellow boss. Meanwhile, rival local lords scheme to remove Jirocho to widen their own grip on power. Featuring Kataoka Chiezo in one of his defining performances, this film offers a compelling portrayal of a figure largely unfamiliar outside Japan. With Nakamura Kinnosuke as a leading co-star, this vivid period yakuza tale brings history to life.
