Review of Tokyo Drifter (1966) by Joseph S — 20 Jul 2012
Watched it twice and still not quite sure what happened, but the images are lodged in memory. Color filters, and color pallets, not to mention inky black and white, sequences make this a visual feast for the eyes in every frame.
It's completely style over substance, which wont appeal to some, but it's hypnotic one of a kind film making, that still looks fresh. I could leave this on in the background on tv, all day and find something worth looking at in pretty much every scene.
Bright, beautiful, and madcap action/comedy. Suzuki is a technicolor refreshment in a world of gritty pulp redundancy, basically the opposite of "Quantum of Solace".
