Seijun Suzuki is a cinema legend. A pop and irreverent force of creativity, whose artistic audacity during his 1960s period in Japan has continued to influence contemporary cinema. From Hong Kong to Hollywood, filmmakers such as John Woo, Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino and Wong Kar-wai regularly pay tribute to him in their films. And in Japan, a whole generation of artists – drawn from the worlds of manga, the visual arts and techno-pop – revere this master of subverting the conventions of crime thrillers and melodramas. ‘Twist & Shoot, Mister Suzuki’ traces the hallmarks of Suzuki’s aesthetic, whilst also defying conventions – in this case, those of the documentary film itself.
