Pistol Opera
As powerful and energetic as ever, 78-year old director Seijun Suzuki  creates a stunningly lurid, extreme tale of a woman assassin’s (new sensation Makiko  Esumi) surreal rise in the criminal underworld. Thirty-three years later, this master of the  pulp thriller reworks his own Branded To Kill into a totally new, jaw-dropping  experience! The original Branded To Kill (1976, Koroshi No Rakun starring Jo Shishido.  Mariko Ogawa, Anne Mari) is the stylish action movie that has been the subject of  homage from world-class directors such as John Woo, Quentin Tarantino, and Jim  Jarmusch. Its eccentric, eye-popping images and extreme action is fast earning Pistol  Opera a worldwide cult following.
