My face red in the sunset, aka Killers on parade
(Yûhi ni akai ore no kao)
Masahiro Shinoda
- 1961
- Japan
- Police
- 1h22mn
- Original version with English subtitles
- Color
A team of hitmen aims to kill a troublesome reporter... who herself asks a hitman to protect her.
This early work, Shinoda’s most pop, races wildly into absurd humor and a motley carnival of Color. But don’t be mistaken, like a frantic comic book, this noir musical, Shinoda’s second collaboration with Terayama, is much more than eye candy, and constitutes an aesthetic anarchist manifesto.
