Director Shohei Imamura shows in Vengeance is Mine (1979) the true story of Iwao Enokizu the con-artist who steals all the time from those he lives on and also acts as a serial killer. Early on Imamura made in The Insect Woman (1964) in she in poverty and trying to succeed her own way and The Pornographers (1966) a guy wrestling with his desires and afflictions. He then worked only on documentary but then with The Eel (1997) a person makes an eel as a friend and Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (2001) a couple meet with unusual sexual powers. His return from documentary filming started him back with the serial killer film. It is a fantastic one that is so unusual that starts in the prison and then looks back through multiple flashbacks and we have such an idea on where of his starting the killing, rather than usually we are most interested as him how person gets to the police finally.
