Kuro-obi
Résumés(1)
Japon, 1932, à l'écart du monde, se trouve un dojo où le karaté régule la vie de 3 élèves, sous le regard attentif de leur maître. Tous ont excellé dans leurs entraînement physique, il s'agit maintenant de parfaire leur discipline philosophique. Celui des trois qui atteindra le niveau de perfection requis, remportera l'honneur de ceindre la ceinture du maître, le remplaçant ainsi lui-même, qui se fait vieux... Hélas, cette paix insulaire se trouve violée, brusquement, par l'arrivée de la police militaire... (texte officiel du distributeur)

When a trio of grandmasters of their craft is silent and train individual executioners with machine-like purity, there is no choice but to admire their art with a respectable nod of the head. But this will only happen at the very beginning and then at the final credits. Meanwhile, for 90 minutes, the filmmakers for some incomprehensible reasons force this trio of non-actors into chatty emotionally tense scenes which would be hard even for some great actors; which these people are not. Moreover, I do not even understand the approach of the creators to introduce unembellished karate and its philosophy through a scenario that does karate a complete disservice, because it creates the impression of a self-centered discipline of the least resistance in order to gain a piece of cloth, with no regard for others.
