| CinePassionFernando F. CroceSeijun Suzuki's surrealism, still formative but already of comical ease |
| User ReviewEric RA classic in the likes of Double Indemnity, skoldbjaerg's Insomnia, and diabolique. I would easily put this above all the films I just mention. |
| User ReviewDaniel IAlthough not one of Suzuki's very best films, try Branded to Kill or Tokyo Drifter, this tough film noir is well worth a watch. From sadistic gangsters to hiding diamonds inside mannequins, the film is full of surprises. Miyamoto plays a Sonny Chiba like character who seems untouchable for most of the time. Seijun Suzuki's direction and use of locations is brilliant, there is even some humour, though some of it is rather cruel. |
| User ReviewLouis DAwesome Japanese Noir. Top notch cinematography and tone in this unknown slice of fantastic |
| User ReviewChristopher SWorthwhile, but not as good as Suzuki's best. Great camera angles, though. |
