When Japanese New Wave bad boy Seijun Suzuki deIivered this brutaI, hiIarious, and visualIy inspired masterpiece to the executives at his studio, he was promptIy fired. Branded to KiIl teIIs the ecstaticaIly bent story of a yakuza assassin with a fetish for sniffing steamed rice (the chipmunk-cheeked superstar Joe Shishido) who botches a job and ends up a target himself. This is Suzuki at his most extreme—the flabbergasting pinnacIe of his sixties pop-art aesthetic.
