Pistol Opera
2001
dir. Seijun Suzuki
:star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar:
Pseudo-sequel to Branded To Kill (1967) that came out almost 35 years later (much much to late). I liked Branded To Kill's incoherent sex & violence, but Pistol Opera just didn't do it for me... too much incoherence, and not enough sex & violence.
Makiko Esumi is super hot in Pistol Opera, but she's much better in Maborosi (one of my favorite Japanese films).
