An empty glass on the windowsill. A letter without a signature. These are the only clues left for a man who has forgotten everything, including his own name. In the 2004 action-fantasy drama *Izo*, a resurrected 19th-century assassin is violently cast into modern Tokyo. Cursed with immortality and driven by a bottomless rage, he carves a bloody path through time itself, confronting samurai, soldiers, and spirits in an endless war against existence. This is not a quest for redemption, but a primal scream against life, death, and the gods who created them.
