Le Lézard noir

A neon-lit Tokyo summer night. The chime of an antique clock. A jewel thief lures a gumshoe into a mirrored salon where the walls are stocked with stolen faces. The detective’s coat pockets fill with cryptic appointment cards while a sequined hostage listens through a porcelain teacup. This is the year the Japanese camera learned to wink—panavision parody starring one of Toei’s last great gangsters.
