Viewing Notes
This one felt a little tighter than the first, or perhaps I’m just more prepared for the format now. Not as many wide location shots but I’m guessing it would have been hard to replicate 1950s Hiroshima in the ‘70s so that probably explains why.
Sonny Chiba is great as the batshit crazy Katsutoshi!
