There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever. When I was younger there was a theater called the Parkway (in Chicago) that showed such films. It was torn down (so it goes). So this blog is kind of my own personal Parkway. djg51qu@gmail.com I will post new films each Saturday.

Irezumi - Masumura Yasuzo - 1966
The challenge in the film is to understand the real source of Otsuya's rage.
What do you think the spider tattoo means? Perhaps it represents the expectations of men which silently and invisibly (she can't see the tattoo on her back but felt the pain of receiving it) have altered her life.
Why do you think Otsuya and not some other woman received this tattoo - was it just for her beauty?
