Avant-gardist, sulphurous and indomitable, Seijun Suzuki never stopped experimenting during a career marked by his dismissal from Nikkatsu studios in 1967. His aesthetic radicalism and his daring detour of genres had a head start. From Jim Jarmusch to Wong Kar-wai, many contemporary filmmakers have claimed his influence. As Suzuki would have been 100 years old this year, we present the six 35mm prints imported for the occasion by the Japan Foundation. This rare set allows us to cross the filmography of the filmmaker, from his beginnings to his return in the 1980's through the cornerstone of his work that is Tokyo Drifter.
