Review of Tokyo Drifter (1966) by Gavin L — 22 Oct 2007
Delierious stuff from the king of cinema swing Seijun Suzuki. Most of the time I have no idea what is going on his movies, but I don't really mind since his visuals are just so dazzling, and his scenarios are just so surreal.
The theme song for the film is a first rate ditty, which I'm surprised hasn't yet ended up in a Tarantino flick. This genre defying pop-fest looks like a Sam Fuller script directed by Vincent Minnelli mixed with a bit of Warhol.
A treat!
