Big fan of what I've seen, would love to see more, particularly Red Angel.
1. Manji - A (A masterpiece of sexual obsession)
2. Blind Beast - A- (sets that have to be seen to be believed)
3. Afraid to Die - B+ (Gripping Yakuza film with an against-type performance by Kurosawa regular Takashi Shimura)
4. Giants & Toys - B (Amusing satire of corporate Japan)
Own: 4

In order of merit:
1.BLIND BEAST (1969) ***1/2
2.MANJI (1964) ***
3.AFRAID TO DIE (1960) ***
4.GIANTS AND TOYS (1958) ***
I'm interested in watching his other films; it's a pity that very few are available and, at the very least, I hope that Fantoma's plans for THE BLACK TEST CAR (1962) and RED ANGEL (1966) eventually mater | |
