Synopsis
Koreyoshi Kurahara's ingeniously plotted, pocket-size noir concerns the intertwined fates of a desperate bank manager, blackmailed for book-cooking, and his resentful but timid underling, passed over for a promotion. The marvelously moody Intimidation is an elegantly stripped-down and carefully paced crime drama.

This surprising story has all the hallmarks of Japanese cinema : a slow but never boring pace, actions and details shown clearly, limpid narration and a certain calm composure. Recommended. Thanks for showing it.
