Seijun Suzki’s film is set in Japan’s yakuza world, with Jo Shishido as a hit-man who, after just one botched job, becomes the target of his previous employers. But rather than just a straight thriller, Suzuki’s film toys with surrealism and elements that may (or may not) be germane to the plot to produce fascinating and tantalising movie. In Japanese with subtitles., Director Seijun Suzuki’s audacious tale about Tokyo’s “No. 3 hit man,” who finds himself the target of the top assassin. Shishido Jo, Ogawa Mariko, Mari Annu, Nanbara Koji., This 1967 gangster picture was so shocking for its time that maverick Japanese filmmaker Seijun Suzuki was fired from his studio. The violence and brutality of this film remain just as disturbing today. The story centers around Hanada Goro (Jo Shishido), an assassin in a Japanese underworld where the professional killers are ranked like athletes or pop stars. Hanada is Number Three, and in the opening scenes of the film, he eliminates Number Four and many others. Later, when he fails to assassinate a customs investigator and kills an innocent bystander, he becomes the target of Number One. Hanada’s world, full of misogyny and strange sexual appetites, falls apart; he is betrayed by his wife and becomes obsessed with Misako (Mari Annu) a cold and mysterious femme fatale. As he runs and fights for his life, he is haunted by the fateful question: “Who is Number One?” Suzuki’s action sequences are elaborate and innovative, despite shaky camera work and an apparently low budget.
