The director of this film is the Japanese hero of the Five Social Groups, who is skilled at shooting martial arts films and brothels. The lead roles are played by the actress Kanako Toguchi, who is known for her bold nudity, and the actor Masahiro Motoki, who has a distinctive personality. The story unfolds among professional gamblers, gangsters, gambling discs, and revenge, and in the end, both new and old grudges are settled on the ever-changing gambling table. Are the successes and failures, gains and losses in the human world just like the rising steam, illusory and hazy, vanishing in an instant? Would killing to fill one's life only make the sin deeper and more severe? This film not only has a poignant and beautiful side, but also contains highly entertaining elements such as gambling battles and gang violence. Love, hate, affection and enmity are all condensed into one, which can be appreciated by both the refined and the popular. It is the peak work that brings together the directors of the Five Societies.[Collapse]
