Righteousness

About This Movie

Righteousness is an intriguing piece that draws from Michio Tsuzuki's novel, A Mark Carved On Wood. The film dives into the psychological chaos of Cheung, a man freshly released from prison only to find himself ensnared in a web of past decisions. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as secrets from his life 20 years ago start to resurface. It has a gritty, atmospheric feel that reflects the turmoil of the protagonist, making you almost feel the weight of his history. The performances carry a haunting quality, especially in the moments of revelation that cut deep. It’s not polished mainstream fare, which gives it a certain rawness you might appreciate as a collector searching for something a bit different.

Righteousness has had a limited release history, and information on its distribution is scarce, which may make finding a physical copy a bit tricky. It's not widely discussed in collector circles, adding to its allure for those who appreciate lesser-known titles. Given its unique narrative and the narrative depth derived from the source material, it might spark interest among collectors looking for stories that delve into morality and consequences.
