Castle of Sand

The 1974 film is based on Seicho Matsumoto’s immensely popular detective story. Two detectives are tasked with tracking down the murderer of an old man. The investigation ends with an emotional and heartbreaking conclusion, all the more shattering because the reason for the crime need no longer exist in the world.
