About This Movie

So, 'The Domain' from 1964 is an interesting flick directed by Masahiro Makino. It's steeped in that gritty action and crime vibe that was really starting to hit its stride in Japanese cinema back then. The story centers on this escalating rivalry between two delivery companies — Kibamasa and Okiyama — which is pretty fascinating. The pacing has this relentless push as tensions rise, especially with the Kibamasa head falling ill, which adds a layer of urgency. The performances are solid, embodying the tension and desperation of the characters. Plus, you can see some practical effects that give a certain rawness to the action. It’s not just about the rivalry; it digs into themes of loyalty and survival in a cutthroat world.
