Plot/Synopsis:
“An absolutely beautiful piece of cinema, with its use of colour, long floating camera movements and sumptuous set and costume design invoking the hazy, exotic decadence of the floating world beautifully” ( Midnight Eye). The plays of Chikamatsu have frequently been adapted into films, most notably Mizoguchi's CRUCIFIED LOVERS, but few have the experimental intensity of Uchida's version of the kabuki classic, A The Couriers of Love Fleeing to Yamato. The adopted son of an Osaka courier falls in love with a prostitute and, discovering that she is about to be purchased by a client, steals money from his employer to redeem her. Hunted criminals, the two young lovers take flight to Yamato, but, as in Chikamatsu's other domestic tragedies of love and duty (known as sewamono), they must be pursued and their passion destroyed by death. Favourite Uchida themes, such as the indenturing of a prostitute (cf. YOSHIWARA; A BLOODY SPEAR AT MT. FUJI), and his characteristic emphasis on performance and theatrical artifice re-emerge here; but the daring device of having Chikamatsu appear as a character - not unlike having Shakespeare interpolated into a film adaptation of one of his plays - is just one of many surprises this remarkable film holds. “Extraordinary” (Donald Richie).
