Movies Watched -- Branded to Kill (1967)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In Japanese. 91 minute running time. This was hilarious and wonderfully weird. Seijun Suzuki was making fun of the typical yakuza movie and movie conventions in general. I enjoyed it, but it doesn’t get the vaunted green-go, must-see recommendation.

I discovered this movie by reviewing the LEAST picked movies among the Closet Picks in the Criterion Closet. Only Yorgos Lanthimos, who makes wonderfully weird movies himself, recommended it.

Who is No. 1?
