Goyôkiba: Oni no Hanzô yawahada koban (Hanzo the Razor: Who's Got the Gold?) (1974, Unrated)
Think Dirty Harry in Feudal Japan, with a bit of Lone Wolf & Cub and Zatoichi thrown in, with a bit of 70s funk and porn thrown in. Weird but fucking fun. |

In the Year of the Pig (1968, Unrated)
Essential for fans (?) of war. The documentary uses short bursts of interviews and quotes layered on footage to slowly build a brick wall of a point about what went wrong in Vietnam. The film doesn't even have a narative voice and doesn't patronise as some documentaries can. |
