Yakuza, Triads and maggoty GIs in a world of bloody revenge and impressionistic violence. A classic, just-restored cool-detective flick. An irreverent indulgence. A lesser-known film by the Japanese master, but still one of his most iconic works. The ultimate avant-garde pop rebel lays the foundations for his long-term deconstruction of the gangster movie. With the rules cast aside, the detective flick implodes and art fills the void. Starring the always amazing Jô Shishido.
