What The Oil-Hell Murder Is About
The idle son of an oil seller becomes a regular customer of a woman working in a brothel. As the spending grows the debt piles up like a mountain, and in the end his family disowns him. Left with neither work nor standing, the man starts looking for other ways to pay. The film is about the world of trade in the Edo period, the arrangement of debt, and how far that arrangement can carry people. The account does not defend the man, but it does not draw him as simply a bad person either; it shows the debt itself as an instrument of pressure. Kanako Higuchi plays the lead in Hideo Gosha’s hundred and fifteen minute Japanese film, completed in 1992.
