@falcon I watched Tai Katō's Minagoroshi no reika (1968) [I, the Executioner] (1968) the other day. It's late for the genre, and much meaner than its Hollywood counterparts, but imo definitely qualifies as #FilmNoir. https://letterboxd.com/film/i-the-executioner/. #cinemastodon #TaiKatō #film
The eatery may be closed but #FilmDinner is commencing. Watching (via @a0dbxza's much recommended LB saga) #TaiKatô's Minagoroshi no reika (I, the Executioner aka Requiem for a Massacre) (1968). #cinemastodon #film
