The Bad Sleep Well

The Bad Sleep Well (悪い奴ほどよく眠る Warui yatsu hodo yoku nemuru) is a 1960 film by the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. It stars Toshiro Mifune as a young man who gets a prominent position in a corrupt postwar Japanese company in order to expose the men responsible for his father's death. The film is Kurosawa's unofficial Hamlet, a revenge story that ends in tragedy. It also doubles as a critique of corporate corruption.
