The Criterion Collection Tokyo Drifter - The Criterion Collection
Description
In this jazzy gangster film, reformed killer Tetsu’s attempt to go straight is thwarted when his former cohorts call him back to Tokyo to help battle a rival gang. Director Seijun Suzuki’s onslaught of stylized violence and trippy colours is equal parts Russ Meyer, Samuel Fuller, and Nagisa Oshima – an anything‐goes, in‐your‐face rampage. Tokyo Drifter is a delirious highlight of the brilliantly excessive Japanese cinema of the sixties. Features: New high‐definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Programme from 2011 featuring interviews with director Seijun Suzuki and assistant director Masami Kuzuu Interview with Suzuki from 1997 Trailer PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Howard Hampton
