Pistol Opera

Aroview: A comeback of sorts for brilliant Japanese director Seijun Suzuki, who brings a self-referential and at times incomprehensibly abstract style to this action film about a female assassin known as Stray Cat.

A loose sequel to Suzuki's magnum opus BRANDED TO KILL, but with Joe Shishido replaced by Mikijiro Hira in the role of Goro Hanada, the hitman with a sexual fetish for the smell of boiling rice.
