KAIZO HAYASHI'S MAIKU HAMA TRILOGY (1994-1996)
A trilogy of films about Yokohama private eye Maiku Hama (played by Masatoshi Nagase) directed by Kaizo Hayashi. In THE MOST TERRIBLE TIME IN MY LIFE he gets embroiled in the disappearance of a Taiwanese immigrant’s brother, getting caught in the crosshairs of a gang war. In the 2nd film THE STAIRWAY TO THE DISTANT PAST he goes after a “Man in White” reigning over the embattled riverfront of Yokohama. The ominous final chapter THE TRAP straddles the line of psychological horror as a series of drug-fueled murders instill fear in Yokohama.
