The Christian Revolt (1962) | Amakusa Shiro Tokisada | 天草四郎時貞

A movie about the devout Japanese Catholic directed by Nagisa Ōshima.

Description on the back on the DVD case:
In 1637, the Tokugawa Shogunate mandated religious orders to severely restrict and contain the spread of Christianity. In Kyushu, Shimabara and Amakusa, the Christian population was particularly large, and the farmers continuously endured extreme pain and suffering under the oppression of the land's rulers. Unable to pay taxes because of severe famine, Christians watched their daughters taken away by the samurai and waited for a miracle that could save them. People lined up to follow Shiro of Amakusa in the belief that he was the one to lead them out of despair. This is a serious story taken from the pages of history, and exposes what led up to the siege of Shimbara. A tremendous performance by mega-star Okawa Hashizo along with crisp direction by noted filmmaker Oshima Nagisa raise the level of this film to true art.

I’m uploading my friends’ torrents that he’s posting to anidex. He got this by ripping it from the rare English DVD.
