Bite-Sized Yakuza Chunks: Suzujki, Fukasaku & Kitano

Yakuza films started out as morality plays where the protagonist's ninkyo, their honor, was a greater stake than their life. This genre paradigm would see some radical shifts brought about by these three auteurs. Seijen Suzuki's irreverence, Kinji Fukasaku's politically loaded disdain for hypocrisy and Takeshi Kitano's post-modern, arthouse approaches advanced new mutations in the Japanese gangster film - so lets watch 'em.

May 1st: Tattooed Life/Tokyo Drifter DOUBLE FEATURE
May 8th: Battles Without Honor or Humanity
May 15th: Graveyard of Honor (1975)
May 22nd: Sonatine
May 29th: Fireworks

Rio Conchos

Two Army officers travel to Mexico on a secret mission to prevent an insane ex-Confederate colonel from selling a cache of stolen rifles to a band of murderous Apaches.

Jim Brown doesn't get top billing, he doesn't even get the most screen-time, but it's a solid, brutal western well worth checking out.
