TOKYO DRIFTER
Director: Seijun Suzuki
Cast: Chieko Matsubara, Hideaki Nitani
Maverick Japanese director Suzuki turns the traditional "yakuza" gangster film on its ear with this stylish, intentionally oblique tale of a gangster whose maddening dependence on long-obsolete honor codes spurs rivals and even his own bosses to hunt him down.
Explosive violence, tripped out colors, saucy jazz and ultra cool Yakuza- this is TOKYO DRIFTER. Former killer Tetsu has a plan to go straight and leave his violent life behind. When his past wont leave him alone, Testu answers the only ways he knows how indecisive and deadly fashion.
