Great Campy samurai gangster film. Mixes humour, drama & violence quite nicely. Ahead of it's time. Suzuki was blacklisted for years after making this one.

Irreversible (2002,  Unrated)
Irreversible 4.0 Stars
Awesome flick. Every scene runs about 10-20 minutes and is shot with a steadycam without any noticable cuts. It unfolds Momento style. The first 20 mins is tough to watch because of the camera movements and innaudible low frequency sound.

Truffaut' semi-autobiographical story of troubled youth is played out to perfection. The camera captures the Paris locations beautifully. A masterpiece from the french new wave. A must see.
