| Description |
The label said it all: Nikkatsu Akushon. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, action films from the Nikkatsu studio flooded the Japanese market. The genre included yakuza movies, urban dramas, jazz-inflected youth pictures, Eastern "Westerns," French New Wave-inspired emotional dramas and crime films. Less gritty realism than macho romanticism, Nikkatsu Action cinema was known for flashy stylistics, tortuous narratives, and a pantheon of male stars. In this series we present some of the studio's best films, featuring Nikkatsu's most enduring stars. Finally Seattle audiences can be exposed to this often artistic, always entertaining subgenre of Japanese cinema.
