If you loved Blackmail Is My Life, try Black Lizard
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Kinji Fukasaku, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blackmail Is My Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Black Lizard is
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.
