Description:
Draft script for the 1967 film. Text in Japanese.
An experimental, absurdist, pop art satire of yakuza films and film noir, Suzuki's film was a failure on release, leading him to be fired and then blackballed by the studio for making films that made neither sense nor profit.
The film rightly became a cult classic with its international video release in the 1980s, and would influence filmmakers such as Jim Jarmusch, John Woo, Chan-wook Park, Wong Kar-wai, Johnnie To, Takeshi Kitano, and Quentin Tarantino.
