Japavalanche

To conclude Japanuary we dive into four films curated by Nathan (who was unable to join us due to Ninjas). First up is Noburo Ando's Chronicle of Escape and Sex (aka Account of Filthy Escape into Sex aka the greatest title we have ever seen) a true account of lead actor Ando's month long run from authorities and the women who comforted him. Okinawa Yakuza War, also inspired by a true crime event, finally brings the great Sonny Chiba to RotP. Fires on the Plain shoves our faces into the horrors of war. Finally Takashi Miike arrives on scene, you just can't have Japanuary without him, and spins another tale from the files of Noburo Ando, one we assume must be heavily fictionalized or else the force ghosts have a lot to answer to, in Deadly Outlaw Rekka
Join us, won't we?
