Visionary director Suzuki Seijun’s Tokyo Drifter is a dazzling, genre-bending Yakuza thriller that redefined Japanese cinema. The film follows Tetsu (Tetsuya Watari), a former hitman turned loyal enforcer for his reformed boss, Kurata. When old rivalries resurface, violence erupts, forcing Tetsu to flee the city to protect Kurata. Dressed in his iconic powder-blue suit and armed with a stoic demeanor, he embarks on a surreal journey through a vividly stylized underworld. Blending crime drama, pop-art aesthetics, and bursts of kinetic action, Tokyo Drifter is a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.
