"'Branded to K*ll' is one of those films that feels so far ahead of its time, we may still not have caught up to it." (Time Out)When Japanese New Wave bad boy Seijun Suzuki delivered this brutal, hilarious, and visually inspired masterpiece to the executives at his studio, he was promptly fired. "Cult classic? Try one of the greatest films ever made." (Irish Times)
Catch Branded to K*ll (1967) on the big screen at Moxie Cinema Tuesday, November 25 @ 7pm - part of the Japanese New Wave series. Tickets: $11/Adult, $9/Seniors & Students & Free for Members.
Branded to K*ll tells the ecstatically bent story of a yakuza assassin with a fetish for sniffing steamed rice (the chipmunk-cheeked superstar Joe Shishido) who botches a job and ends up a target himself. This is Suzuki at his most extreme—the flabbergasting pinnacle of his sixties pop-art aesthetic. [Janus]
