Fully restored digital cinema presentation. This pop art gangster film follows Tetsuya “Phoenix Tetsu” Hondo, who is looking forward to his forced retirement after his gang is disbanded. But when he refuses an offer he shouldn’t, what follows is a dizzying and blood-soaked 1960’s take on the wandering Samurai. Directed by Seijun Suzuki, this film, now considered a classic of the Yakuza genre, pushed Suzuki and art director Takeo Kimura even harder to craft their high-energy vision on a budget that the studio hoped would actually limit them.
