The Life of Matsu the Untamed

You haul a rickshaw and spread cheer around town. You befriend a sick young boy and join his family's service. But fate has other plans for you. Inagaki's early work shows the formal grace he'd later bring to samurai films. The film leaves one pondering class and duty.
