Viewing Notes

Perhaps not my favorite of the Nikkatsu Noir series from Criterion, but a solid effort nonetheless. This is an early effort from famed genre director Seijun Suzuki, who has a long list of great Japanese crime movies to his credit. Definitely a body of work worth checking out. I’ve not delved nearly deep enough into his ouvre.

This was the last of the six Nikkatsu Noir offerings from Criterion for me.
