Branded to Kill

Belgian Premiere of the new digital restoration.

After a failed assignment, a hitman with a rice fetish (Jo Shishido) comes into conflict with his organization, and in turn becomes the target of a deadly colleague…

Violent, erotic, funny, and simply absurd as only Seijun Suzuki could do.

The show uses the beautiful new digital restoration that finally does justice to Suzuki’s cinematography.

AWARD:

• Venice Classics Award for Best Restored Film, Venice Film Festival 2022
