(aka 'Gendai yakuza: hito-kiri yota' or 'Street Mobster')
directed by Kinji
Fukasaku
Japan 1972
In the tradition of Takeshi Kitano, Sergio Leone, and George Romero, Japanese
action director Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale I and II, The Yakuza Papers)
brings to life Street Mobster, the story of a violent killer who will stop at
nothing to satisfy his lust for blood.
Released from prison, gangster Isamu Okita plans to start his own gang and
begins a reign of terror using beatings, prostitution, stabbings, and murders to
fight his way to the top of the gangland world. Street Mobster is a look into
the dark realm of Japan's criminal underworld, where anything can be had for a
price.

| Comments: |
This is image is
slightly superior to "Graveyard
of Honor" - in that it is tight the frame edge. It still
has that forgivable heavy and slightly soft appearance but color and
contrast again seem deft. Efficient subtitles and original audio plus a
very interesting extra feature in the cloaked interview with a former
Yakuza, if only to further the mystique of the films guarded appeal.
Genre specific viewing, but it does have another niche cultural draw of
sorts.
