Patton Oswalt on PALE FLOWER

Показать описание

Set in the world of Yakuzas and gambling dens, Masahiro Shinoda's 1964 film features the kind of star-crossed lovers that populated great American noir movies of the forties. Ryō Ikebe plays a hitman who enters into a fraught relationship with a kindred soul played by Mariko Kaga. Things spiral from there. Merciless but poignant, Shinoda's film routinely appears on critic's top-ten lists.

Thank you, Patton. GREAT film and this is why TFH is so valuable. I envy those who now see this for the first time. Why this isn't up there w everything is beyond me. And a great trailer, too! Never seen it.

No wonder my mom and my aunt and their friends played mah jong so much. The soothing clicking of the tiles. Ah, so.

Great choice. I just found out about this film in the last 2 years. Now I want to own it.

Early masterpiece from Masahiro Shinoda. Watched like 8-9 movies of his this winter, everyone's a gem especially the surreal ghoulish Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees which is likeTexas Chainsaw Massacre directed by Kurosawa. Others are like superior versions of Seijun Suzuki.

Thank you for the discovery, I knew Himiko (quite different from the same director), but not this one yet. And I love it: a beautiful b&w, Ryô Ikebe is charismatic, a different yakuza tale with an end that brought tears to my eyes because of the beauty of the operatic sequence.
