In a career spanning nearly five decades, director Seijun Suzuki amassed
a body of work ranging from B-movie potboilers to beguiling
metaphysical mysteries. Suzuki first became famous when he was fired by
Nikkatsu Studios in 1967 for making films that, as he put it, “made no
sense and made no money.” But it was his freewheeling approach and
audacious experimentation in films such as Branded to Kill (1967) and Tokyo Drifter (1966) that gained Suzuki a cult following in Japan and abroad.
