Diving into the Neon-Soaked Yakuza World of Seijun Suzuki's Tokyo Drifter | McFly’s Movie House #015
1966's Tokyo Drifter is one of the most well-known films by Japanese New Wave maverick Seijun Suzuki. A wildly creative and avant-garde yakuza classic, Tokyo Drifter takes inspiration from Old Hollywood musicals, Westerns, film noir, and traditional gangster tropes yet never takes itself too seriously, delivering on all these homages with glaring colors and visual opulence.
Returning guest Harry Argyle and I will be chatting about the film, diving into Suzuki's background, and highlighting his difficulties working with Nikkatsu Studios -- that Tokyo Drifter only worsened.
Harry Argyle is a film content creator and co-host of the Love, Death and Movies podcast.
