In early 20-century industrial Japan Yakuza member Kikuju flees to Tokyo with his master's proposed bride leaving more than a few corpses in his wake. Settling down to work with some corrupt building contractors Kikuju is unaware that an assassin from his old gang is in town looking for him... Seijun Suzuki's blistering run of off-the-wall subverted genre movies continued with this scathing look at the stand-off between Japanese big business and no less corrupt trade unions while throwing in some stunning cinematography characteristic camera moves and of course a tattoed bandit geisha femme fatale!
This rarely seen gem from the master Suzuki casts teenage heart-throb Koji Wada as young misfit who suddenly finds himself the unwitting pawn in an escalating family feud that ultimately leads to tragedy. This is the DVD premiere of Suzuki's first colour feature. Lean mean and stylish as always this tale of youth-gone-wild is both vibrant and touching. Suzuki contrasts tranquil glimpses of traditional regional life with the emergence of the new rock 'n' roll youth culture and the greed and seething cynicism of encroaching Westernisation. Also released under the title Go To Hell Hoodlums! this is a melodrama as colourful shocking and exhilarating as one would come to expect from Japan's master filmmaker.
