| If Filmbrain should ever need to compile a list of films that feature assassinations and/or sniper rifle scenes, he could easily use the many guesses submitted last week. The Day of the Jackal, Z, Targets, Le Petit Soldat, etc. Of course, the correct answer was Seijun Suzuki's 1967 hard-boiled masterpiece Branded to Kill. The actress in the shot is Annu Mari, and Filmbrain would like to thank Patrick K for forwarding some interesting information about what became of her. Congrats to all that got it correct. For those that haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to check out this ultra-stylish assassin-noir -- one of the coolest Japanese films of the 60's. (Criterion has released it on DVD.) This week -- one of Filmbrain's favorite films of all times, as potentially embarrassing as that may be to admit. Yes, that's who you think it is, but can you name the film? Send your guesses to this address. Good luck! |
