Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on one of China's Four Great Classical Novels, previously adapted as 'Water Margin' — this Japanese production reclaims the material with distinct political urgency.
The 108 outlaws reference actual Taoist belief in 108 earthly desires — each character embodies a sin to overcome or succumb to.
