Iwao Enokizu: You say you'll never forgive me. But I won't forgive you either. If I was going to kill anybody, I should have killed you.> Shizuo Enokizu:You couldn't kill me. You're not the kind who could kill his own father.> Iwao Enokizu: You saying I'm not man enough?> Shizuo Enokizu:You can only kill those who never harmed you.> Iwao Enokizu: Damn you. Even now... I wish I could kill you.Japanuary 2026

Vengeance is Mine gives an uncanny and bizarre look into such a depraved character. The senselessness and absurdity behind their actions reminds me of Albert Camus’ The Stranger. Each character’s personality stands out with their distinct motives and yearnings. Imamura crafts very human characters whose flaws lead them to their downfalls if not by Enokizu’s actions.
