The Bad Sleep Well 1960 123movies

Watch: 悪い奴ほどよく眠る 1960 123movies, Full Movie Online – It is a high-profile wedding: the daughter of Mr Iwabuchi, a wealthy businessman, is marrying Mr Nishi, a car salesman. However, Mr Iwabuchi and other senior members of his company are suspected of corporate malfeasance and the wedding becomes a bit of a farce, with the press swarming all over it. To add to the discord, the company officials are rather publicly reminded of an ignominious event which occurred a few years ago – a senior employee committed suicide by jumping from the 7th floor of their offices. Now other senior officials are committing suicide and it looks like it is related to that death of a few years ago..
Plot: In this loose adaptation of “Hamlet,” illegitimate son Kôichi Nishi climbs to a high position within a Japanese corporation and marries the crippled daughter of company vice president Iwabuchi. At the reception, the wedding cake is a replica of their corporate headquarters, but an aspect of the design reminds the party of the hushed-up death of Nishi’s father. It is then that Nishi unleashes his plan to avenge his father’s death.

Reviews:

Under appreciated Kurosawa masterpiece
At the start of this film I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it might be a mediocre Kurosawa film. By the end of the film I realized it was one of his best. This film about familial discord and corporate manipulation is breathtaking. Its filled with irony, double crosses, cynicism, manipulation and revenge. In short, its endlessly interesting and captivating. Definitly a must see.

Classic film-noir – spoilers herein
I have just started watching Kurosawa’s film-noirs, and this is the second one I’ve seen so far. The first one I saw was Stray Dog which I believe is slightly better paced than this one which gets a bit too slow in some parts.

The photography is simply magnificent, the depth and the contrasts really bring the characters to life, Kurosawa’s directing is at its best with many great shots. The acting is also very good, especially Toshiro Mifune, but not only him, the other characters, both the “bad” and the “good” are very well portrayed.

The plot is quite complex to understand at the beginning. The reporters in the opening scene of the movie who comment the marriage act like a classic theatrical chorus, it’s quite confusing because they mention many names and events. But as the story unfolds the pieces start to fit together and everything starts to appear clearly until the revelation of Nishi’s true identity. From then on the movie turns into a revenge-story. The ending is so shattering that all that’s left to say is “The Bad Sleep Well”.

I give this movie an 8/10 because I don’t give 10’s and as I said it’s slightly too slow at times. The best thing about the film is that it simply DOES NOT compromise.
