Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, Japan 1966)

In this jazzy gangster film, reformed killer Tetsu’s attempt to go straight is thwarted when his former cohorts call him back to Tokyo to help battle a rival gang. Director Seijun Suzuki’s onslaught of stylized violence and trippy colors is equal parts Russ Meyer, Samuel Fuller, and Nagisa Oshima—an anything-goes, in-your-face rampage. Tokyo Drifter is a delirious highlight of the brilliantly excessive Japanese cinema of the sixties.

"Seijun Suzuki, prominent B-film director, channels all his quirks and influences with cool effectiveness into this gem of a yakuza film.

FILM COMPANION

The Square (Ruben Östlund, Sweden 2017)

The curator of an art museum in Stockholm finds his life spinning out of control after he decides to hunt down the thieves who stole his cell phone. Meanwhile, his museum hosts an exhibit about kindness in everyday life in this caustic comedy that won the Palme d’or at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and cemented Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure, Triangle of Sadness) as one of the great social satirists in contemporary cinema.

“An astonishingly smart film.”

THE TIMES (UK)

“A darkly humorous and horrific mirror to our culture.”

AUSTIN CHRONICLE

“Laugh-out-loud funny.”

TORONTO STAR

“Social satire by way of art-world comedy, and no woke participant is exempt from its barbs.”

VOX

“A potent, disturbing work that explores the boundaries of political correctness, artistic liberty and free speech in provocative ways.”
