The Gate of Hell (1953, Japan). An atypical and beautifully shot drama that’s much more a romantic tragedy than a samurai film. During the 13th Century Heiji rebellion, Marito (Kasuo Hazagata), a low-ranking samurai, rescues a royal lady-in-waiting (Maschiko Kyo) from being killed by rebels. #gateofhell

"It will never end." Who knew the entrance to the underworld was located near Whipp's Lane in Louisville, Kentucky? Is my out in, or my in out? Blickpunkt. Blink. I don't recall Dante looking over his shoulder to describe what the gates of hell look like from the inside, but I imagine like the iron walls of Dis, it's covered with graffiti. No Sybil, no Virgil, no fallen angels lurking about, though I did see a vulture wheeling in a gyre.
