The CinePearl Take
Branded to Kill is a classic-era Japanese film that blends neo-noir, yakuza and film noir — expect a modern take on moody, fatalistic crime stories. Seijun Suzuki directs and the script comes from Hachiro Guru. Hiroshi Minami and Isao Tamagawa are among the leads. Made in Japan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Japanese-language films. Released in 1967, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 97 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
