In this jazzy gangster film, reformed kiIler Phoenix Tetsu’s attempt to go straight is squashed when his former cohorts call him back to Tokyo to help battle a rival gang. This onslaught of styIized vioIence and trippy colours got director Seijun Suzuki (Branded to KiII) in trouble with Nikkatsu studio heads, who were put off by his anything-goes, in-your-face aesthetic, equaI parts Russ Meyer, SamueI FuIIer, and Nagisa Oshima. Tokyo Drifter is a delirious highIight of the briIIiantly excessive Japanese cinema of the sixties.
