Description: When Japanese New Wave bad boy Seijun Suzuki delivered this brutal, hilarious, and visually inspired masterpiece to the executives at his studio, he was promptly fired. Branded to Kill (Koroshi no rakuin) tells the ecstatically bent story of a yakuza assassin with a fetish for sniffing steamed rice (the chipmunk-cheeked superstar Joe Shishido) who botches a job and ends up a target himself. This is Suzuki at his most extreme—the flabbergasting pinnacle of his sixties pop-art aesthetic. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES: High-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Interviews with director Seijun Suzuki and assistant director Masami Kuzuu Interview with Suzuki from 1997 Interview with actor Joe Shishido Trailer English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by critic and historian Tony Rayns Cover by Eric Skillman
