Branded to Kill

In Tribute to Seijun Suzuki!

50th Anniversary!

(1967) dir Seijun Suzuki w/Jô Shishido, Kôji Nanbara, Isao Tamagawa, Annu Mari [91 min; DCP]
An anarchic send-up of B-movie clichés, BRANDED TO KILL stars the charismatic Jô Shishido as an assassin who gets turned on by the smell of cooking rice whose failed attempt to kill a victim (a butterfly lands on his gun) turns him into a target himself.
