An Actor's Revenge (Yukinojō Henge) (雪之丞変化) (1963)


Full of fascinating Japanese culture references and mesmerising theatrical staging, this 1963 Kon Ichikawa movie is about a kabuki actor who plots slow, deliberate revenge against the men who wronged him years earlier and in that respect is like The Count of Monte Cristo but here the revenge-seeker fashions himself as a female impersonator.

★★★★☆
