Yakuza Dreams

For those of you who have ever seen the brilliant Branded to Kill or Tokyo Drifter, you know what a remarkable and anarchistic director Seijun Suzuki is. Three more of his films have recently been released on these shores, and although they aren't as over-the-top and stylistically shocking as the above mentioned films (Branded to Kill got Suzuki fired for life from Nikkatsu studios), they are splendidly hallucinatory and entertaining.
