Swords in the Moonlight 1 (1957)

Set in the chaotic and transitory late Edo Period, the story follows the nihilistic antihero Ryunosuke Tsukue, a psychotic samurai who senselessly massacres a helpless pilgrim in the opening scene. From this point on Ryunosuke is a relentless victim of circumstance; he follows his cold murder with another kill while dueling a rival samurai, setting off a trail of revenge that weaves through the trilogy’s narrative.
