Branded To Kill
Seijun Suzuki Retrospective
May 11
(Seijun Suzuki, Japan, 1967, B&W, DCP, Japanese with English subtitles, 91 min)
Wednesday, May 11 at 07:00PM
This fractured film noir is the final provocation that got Suzuki fired from Nikkatsu Studios, simultaneously making him a counterculture hero and putting him out of work for a decade. An anarchic send-up of B movie clichés, it stars Jo Shishido as an assassin who gets turned on by the smell of cooking rice, and whose failed attempt to kill a victim (a butterfly lands on his gun) turns him into a target himself. Perhaps Suzukis most famous film, it has been cited as an influence by filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, and John Woo, as well as the composer John Zorn, who called it a cinematic masterpiece that transcends its genre.
