Taking a cue from Hollywood’s popular genre pictures of the 1950s and '60s, Japan’s Nikkatsu studio spent the era generating grim, stylish action movies filled with sly prison stoolies and machine-gun-toting mobsters. This retrospective gathers some of the studio’s most prominent successes, including 1957’s I AM WAITING, starring Yujiro Ishihara (CRAZED FRUIT), and the 1967 yakuza noir-drama A COLT IS MY PASSPORT.
