SYNOPSIS/REVIEW:
It's rare we see an IMDB rating above 8. Though I really like this film, I was surprised to see that so many others liked it as much or more than I did. I will keep this short, as there are several good reviews on IMDB (See the link above.)

Tomu Uchida is unfortunately known almost exclusively for his six part Miyamoto Mushashi films. Though these are fine films, not enough of the rest of his work is available to us. Straits of Hunger is a nice exception as it is very different in style and subject matter from the Mushashi films. The acting is superb, as one might expect from the likes of Rentaro Mikuni and Ken Takakura. But the supporting work of Junzaburo Ban (Who won a best supporting actor award) and Sachiko Hidari (Who won a best actress award) is right up there with Mikuni's fine work in this film.

Uchida's direction also won an award and his strong steady pacing keeps us engaged throughout the almost 3 hours running time. He manages to get a lot of emotion and drama out of every scene and the award winning screenplay supports this admirably. I have done my best to rework the English subtitles to help bring them up to the films high standards.
